About the event

Join us for a night time bat walk at Camley Street Natural Park, 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 city.

Timings for two 1-hour walks:
4.30pm - 5.30pm: For families of all ages
6pm - 7pm: For adults / older teens

Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. 

Part of the walk is on a woodchip path with steps 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. 

Tickets are £5 per person, no ticket needed for children under 5. We do not want the cost to be a barrier to accessing this event, if it is not affordable for you, please email learning@wildlondon.org.uk for a place.

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 the next person on the waiting list.

Donations are welcome. All profits are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.

Mobility

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.

The guided walks will partly take place on a woodchip path with some steps, which is not accessible for wheelchair users. 

The main concrete pathway through the site and path to the pond-dipping platform are accessible for wheelchair users and those with mobility requirements.

As a nature reserve the pathways around the reserve site are woodchip so may be uneven or muddy in places, there are some steps and steep terrain.

There is an accessible toilet on site.
