Joining families at Summer Leys Nature Reserve, this event promises an engaging encounter with local bats under the guidance of experts. Scheduled for August 26th at 7:45 PM, attendees can explore various bat species in a serene outdoor setting. The experience is priced from £5.73 to £11.06 per person.
Join us for a family bat walk around Summer Leys to discover which species are living on the reserve!
Join us for one of our popular family bat walks around Summer Leys to learn more about these amazing animals and how to use a bat detector (provided) to listen to the bat's echolocation calls and identify the species present.
Whilst we'll welcome all ages for this event, we'd recommend it for ages 5+, as we'll be heading on a walk around the full loop of the reserve (as typically, the best point for the bats is furthest away!), which is about 2 miles, so please bear this in mind when booking.
Please bring a torch as the reserve and car park will be very dark towards the end.
CAR PARKING: Car parking charges apply for Summer Leys and can be paid for on the day (card payments only). Parking for members of the Wildlife Trust BCN is FREE - Members MUST register their vehicles to access free parking, for more information please visit here.
