A guided walk around the Stoke Park Estate on Friday 18 September presents a unique opportunity to observe and identify bats using handheld echo locators. The event commences at 6.30pm and is hosted at The Vench Adventure Playground & Community Centre in Bristol. Local guides will lead participants through the grounds, offering insight into the behaviour and ecology of these flying mammals as dusk falls. Attendees will have the chance to listen to the ultrasonic calls of different bat species, learning to distinguish between them with the aid of the detectors. Tickets for this evening excursion are priced at £9.38. The walk is designed to be accessible and informative, suitable for anyone with an interest in wildlife and nocturnal creatures. It promises a fascinating glimpse into the hidden world of bats, highlighting their vital role within the local ecosystem. Those taking part are advised to dress appropriately for the weather and bring a torch, as the walk will continue after sunset.

Join Steve England at Stoke Park as he guides us around the estate, armed with bat echo locators to see how many different species of bats we can identify in the Estate.
We will look at the various habitats and learn all about bats - how do bats see in the dark, how they find their food, how they find their way back home, and what makes Stoke Park so rich in British bat species.
There will be a lot of walking involved, including some hill walking, so it is ESSENTIAL to wear sturdy footwear, be stable on your feet, and bring a torch!
There are very limited spaces on this walk. booking on a first-come-first served basis, and must be booked in advance.

Ticket prices shown INCLUDE EVENTBRITE BOOKING FEE (£0.49 + 6.5% per ticket), i.e. a £10 ticket + BF will cost £11.37 which has slightly increased due to additional details needing to be collected for the NHS Test and Trace system.

SE Outdoor Learning events take place outdoors, and therefore unfortunately we may need to be postponed or cancelled in the days leading up to the event if it seems that the weather will be too poor for it to be run safely. We will always aim to confirm cancellation of the event 24 - 48 hours in advance (though on very rare occassions, sudden weather changes may mean its closer than this).
