Join us for an enchanting summer evening exploring the secret world of bats along the Thames.

As dusk settles, we’ll take a gentle guided walk to discover the incredible species that emerge at twilight.

Led by the Thames Landscape Strategy team, this family‑friendly walk will introduce you to the fascinating behaviour, ecology, and conservation of bats. We’ll use handheld bat detectors to listen to their ultrasonic calls and identify different species as they swoop, forage, and navigate through the night.

Date: Tuesday 25th August

Time: 7:45 pm

Location: YMCA Hawker Centre, Kingston upon Thames

What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes, warm layers, and a torch

Suitable for: Adults and children (under 16s accompanied by an adult)

Come along and celebrate the wildlife of the Thames corridor, one of London’s most historic and biodiverse landscapes.

Please note: As these are wild animals, sightings cannot be guaranteed. The walk may be cancelled or rescheduled depending on weather conditions.
