Family Bat Walks at Nostell

Join us after hours for a walk in the gardens and see the Nostell bats come out the play.

Guided by our experts, you’ll explore the gardens after dusk in search of bats, using specialist detectors to hear their hidden calls. Along the way, you’ll learn how to handle the equipment, discover the different species that call Nostell home, including Common Pipistrelle, Daubenton’s and Noctule bats and find out about their favourite routes and hunting habits.

By the end of the walk, you’ll be confident using a bat detector and will have uncovered the fascinating nightlife of Nostell’s bat populations.

Please note:

  • Meet at the stables courtyard.
  • This event takes place in the complete dark, and so we recommend you bring a torch. Visitors are encouraged to wrap up warm and wear shoes suitable for uneven terrain.
  • This event is on uneven woodland terrain and footpaths and is therefore not accessible for wheelchair users.
  • Suitable for children over the age of 5.
