The Creative Cabin welcomes you to come and get creative to celebrate the Pearl Bordered and Small Pearl Bordered butterfly. These are beautiful orange butterflies with a string of pearls along their edges when their wings are folded. Aylesbeare Common is one of the few places where they have been seen in recent years. This part of the Pebblebed Heaths National Nature Reserve is managed by RSPB and they tell us that nearly 30 butterfly species choose to make their homes here in this wild unspoilt habitat.

We will be there with the Cabin Crew from the Thelma Hulbert Gallery (THG) and Wild East Devon, who run this amazing travelling creative space. Follow the butterfly trail from the car park to find us and drop in to make a butterfly kite and find out more about these endangered butterflies. The Creative Cabin – a space to create, explore, learn and discover! These are FREE drop – in activities. Donations always welcome. No need to book. Come at any time between 11am and 3pm. Please be aware that we will be running this activity within current Covid – Safe guidelines and appreciate your patience if you have to wait before you can take part.
