Family bat walk

Discover more about the amazing nocturnal world of bats with an evening family-friendly walk at WWT Washington.

Start the night with a hot chocolate or 'Pip' organic juice as our team tell you all about British bat species with a show-and-tell activity, before we head out for an evening walk to Hollowood and the reservoir. We'll search for bats using hand-held bat detectors to pick up the presence of different species and see what else we can see along the way.

Dates and times: Tuesday 17, Friday 20 & Tuesday 24 September - 6.30pm start / Saturday 28 September 6.15pm start (8.30pm approx. finish)

Cost: £12 per person (members and non-members). After-hours admission to WWT Washington Wetland Centre is included as part of this event - visitors vising throughout the day will need to purchase admission separately - please note we cannot allow visitors to walk around site before the bat walk starts.

Recommended for: Ages 4+

What you'll need: Please bring a torch along with you and wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
