Explore Wakehurst after hours with our resident wildlife experts to discover the fascinating world of bats.
This evening walk and talk will start with our experienced Wakehurst Rangers, Steve Cook and Kari Winter, speaking about the different bat species that live in the gardens, their behaviours, habitat requirements and what Wakehurst has to offer them.
Using electronic detectors, we will try to pick up the ultrasonic calls of hunting bats as we walk from the Mansion down to Westwood Lake and back.
You will also learn about other animal species, birds and insects that call Wakehurst home.
Important information
- The walk will be approximately 4km on a reasonable surface but is up a steep hill all the way back. Please wear sturdy shoes/walking boots and bring a torch
- Please be aware that wildlife is unpredictable and we cannot guarantee that you’ll see bats during the evening
- Unfortunately, we are not able to offer refunds should you not see any bats
