Of all the Trust's regular specialist walks, our bat walks are always the first to fill up.

Maybe it's the combination of the expert knowledge of BVC Partnership Manager Steve Bailey and the specialist bat detector equipment, or maybe it's just the strange fascination these creatures of the night have for us.

You'll need to bring a torch to find your way in the dark, wrap up warm, and expect to be exploring for about two hours.

This is a great evening for all the family.

Meet at 19.15 at Shepherd Meadows car park (off A321 Marshall Road, map ref SU 848607)

Booking is essential and numbers are limited, so please book early.

A fabulous programme of free events for our Blackwater River Festival.

See nature close up and enjoy the countryside with us 21 to 29 September.
