Join us for butterfly-related activities & celebrate the beauty of these winged insects.

Butterfly Day: A Family Adventure into the Secret World of Wings! 🦋✨

Join us for Butterfly Day, a special event designed to get kids and families up close with the amazing winged wonders living right in our own gardens.
From the “night butterflies” that fly while we sleep to the colourful explorers of the daytime, we’re celebrating all things fluttery!

Here is what’s happening throughout the day:

Morning Mysteries: The Big Moth Reveal – Ever wonder what’s flying around your garden while you’re fast asleep? Join Tracy from Butterfly Conservation/Species on the Edge as we open our secret overnight moth traps. It’s like opening a nature treasure chest! You’ll help us identify these fuzzy, colourful creatures, learn their names, and find out how to spot them in your own garden at home.

• Time: 11am

Storytime Magic: Tiny Tales with Sally – Perfect for the little ones! Join Sally & Trish for an enchanting storytelling session where butterfly adventures come to life. Children will get to use their imaginations to help create the stories and will make a special butterfly memento to take home and keep the magic alive.

• Time: 11am – 2pm
• Ages: 3+

The Butterfly Workshop: Create & Build – Roll up your sleeves and get crafty with Zelka and the LDLC Team. Let’s get creative for our garden friends. Kids can paint, make beautiful butterflies, and even build their very own bug houses to give local insects a cosy place to stay. If the weather isn’t too bad, send the children out into the garden to find different species of butterflies/moths on our mini nature hunt.

• Time: Drop-in session between12 noon – 2pm
• Ages: 5+

Somewhere in between all of this, we will be providing a small buffet, and drinks will be available inside the Centre.
All events are FREE to attend; however, please feel free to drop in a donation if you’re able to.
