Bat Walk
Key information
Hunt bats in the heart of London...
This hour and a half tour takes place at dusk, as London's bats are coming out to play.
- Be guided through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park at night to search for bat species such as common pipistrelles, soprano pipistrelles and noctules.
- Play a fun quiz to separate bat facts from bat fiction and enjoy using bat detectors that make the bats' echo-location calls audible to the human ear.
- Bats are not the only creatures out at night - owl calls may add to the evening's atmosphere and perhaps a curious fox will cross our path as well!
Please note:
- This tour is designed for adult attendees, over 18 years of age.
- The tour will take place between 7:15pm - 8:45pm.
- We offer free spaces for those in need. For more information on eligibility and how to book please call 0300 061 2255 or email publicprogrammes@royalparks.org.uk.
