Eco-Explorers Bat Walk

Eco-Explorers is our series of events for 8-14 year olds! In this activity we'll use bat detectors to try spot our nocturnal neighbours!

This event is part of our Eco-Explorers programme for 10-14 year olds and accompanying adults. On the evening head off on a dusk walk around an area of the Common to try and spot some bats!

As we walk, you’ll learn about the fascinating habits, life cycles, and the cultural connections between humans and night-loving creatures. We'll share facts and challenge misconceptions about these amazing and often misunderstood animals.

All equipment will be provided, booking essential. Sturdy waterproof footwear is recommended and as the event is entirely outdoors, we remind people to dress appropriately for the weather on the day. Bring a bottle of water or hot drink and a snack with you for the event.

The walk will begin at the Vine Road Recreation Ground near the Pavilion.

Please note, dogs will not be admitted at this event except guide dogs. All our events are dog free unless specifically mentioned in the event listing.

TICKETS: All proceeds from ticket sales will support our conservation work and future learning events and we would encourage you, if you can, to pay full price.
