    3x6 swa would do for that depending on what you are going to plug into the sockets. Ideally 3x10 square. A small fuseboard in the shed would be highly recommended, essential really.

    at least 10 over that distance i'd say

    you can calculate it

    outbuildings require isolating switch

    you'll need sub-board anyhow with rcd -otherwise you'd have to walk back in the dark
