outside electrics should be done in armoured cable either suspended above or ideally underground. size of armoured depends on how long in distance to the shed from the house due to volt drop but 2.5- 4mm should be sufficient.
 
Hi,
All outdoor work at mains voltage has to be done by either a registered electrician or by a 'competent' person and building control informed adn they do the test and inspection.
Get a sparky!

Oh yes, loads of regs, and as said its supplying outside so comes under part p of building regs so legally you either need to be competent and notify labc or have a registered spark do it for you.
look up niceic website and search for relevent info :)
