About the event

Join us for a night time bat walk at Woodberry Wetlands, an important habitat for bats in London.

We'll be using electronic detectors to listen for the bats' ultrasonic calls and to learn about how these fascinating mammals travel through the wetlands.

Timings for two 1-hour walks:
6pm - 7pm: Open to Woodberry Down residents
7pm - 8pm: Open to all

The event is aimed at children of all ages and their parents and carers. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. 

Part of the walk is on a narrow, uneven woodchip path that may not be accessible for everyone. If you have access needs please let us know as we may be able to alter the walk to accommodate everyone. 

Booking is required. Please book a ticket per individual attending. Please let us know if you can no longer attend, so we can offer your tickets to another family.

This is a free event, but donations are welcome. All profits are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.

This is a Championing Nature event. Championing Nature is a multi-year programme delivered by London Wildlife Trust and made possible by Wimbledon and Emirates.

Mobility

The guided walks will partly take place on a woodchip path that uneven and narrow, which is not accessible for many wheelchair users. 

The walks will take place in the evening with reduced light and visibility. The staff lead will have torches to help light any uneven pathways.

Woodberry Wetlands is a large site with two gates - the East gate is on a residential road, the West gate is by a busy main road. Most paths along the waterside have no railing, but do have thick plant cover. The wooden boardwalk has railings on both sides.
