Discover the wonders of Calke's parkland after hours on an exclusive twilight walk.

As the day fades and night draws in, explore Calke park in a new light – by twilight.  

Led by Volunteer and former Countryside Manager, Bill, enjoy a peaceful stroll through the ancient parkland and immerse yourself in nature.

Listen out as the park comes alive with the sounds of owls, bats, and other nocturnal residents, emerging for their evening adventures. 

Get an insight into these illusive creatures with equipment borrowed by The Derbyshire Bat Association.
