View all →About This Event
Bat walk by the Wensum is an outdoor event scheduled for 29 October 2026 at The Oasis in Norwich. Participants will take an evening stroll along the river to observe local bat species. Admission is free.
Discover Norfolk’s bats on a short evening stroll along the Wensum and see how many species you can spot.
There are 16 species of bat living in Norfolk, but how many of them can you spot in an evening by the Wensum? Join us as part of the River Festival for a short city stroll to learn more about these nocturnal delights and hopefully spot some as they feed above the water. We'll have our bat detectors at the ready!
Please be advised that this walk is weather dependent, and if raining or there are high winds it may have to be cancelled. Walk length around 1 mile.
Assistance dogs only please.
Start point is The Oasis Community Garden on Fishergate (opposite The Merchant's House). Further joining details will be sent the week of the event.
