An exhibition by members of South Hams Arts Forum (SHAF)
Sunday 2nd – 14th August 2026
Since at least 2009, SHAF members have been holding a summer exhibition to showcase their latest Creative Passions. Formerly, it was known as the Contemporary Passions exhibition and it was held in Harbour House. But from 2024, SHAF is showcasing its summer exhibition at the Thurlestone Parish Hall.
In this show, like in every past summer exhibition, a number of SHAF artists collaborate to showcase a variety of media, in 2D and 3D, such as painting, printmaking, ceramics, mosaics, plus occasional surprises from new emerging artists, making an interesting and varied exhibition.

The SHAF Arts Trail
The SHAF ARTS TRAIL 11th – 26th October 2025 provides an opportunity for visitors to view and buy work directly from the makers. Visitors can discover paintings, ceramics, sculpture, jewellery, lampshades, mosaics, hand-turned wooden items and furniture. Additionally felt, paper and textile art, photography, basketry, printmaking and much more. Lets make this our biggest Arts Trail yet!
Visitors will find artists exhibiting in their homes and studios, in galleries, exhibition halls, hotels and pubs. Following the Arts Trail provides visitors with a wonderful opportunity to explore the glorious South Hams. Therefore discovering places they never knew existed.
The Arts Trail Brochure
The Arts Trail Brochure provides ‘at a glance’ information to help visitors plan their route. A map of the area shows where all participating artists may be found: venues are listed for easy reference; Venue Opening Dates and Times are listed, as well as artists by name, their venue and the page on which they appear in the brochure. This enables visitors on the trail of specific artists to locate them easily.
Following the Arts Trail enables visitors to discover the latest works of their favourite artists … and find new artists and types of artwork to add to their ‘favourites’ list. SHAF hopes all visitors to the Arts Trail will have a wonderful time. In addition take the opportunity to drop in for a delicious lunch or cream tea at one of the cafes, hotels, pubs and restaurants advertised in the brochure.
