As daylight fades and The Regent’s Park quietens, a hidden world begins to stir. While birds settle into their roosts, bats emerge to swoop and flit through the trees and waterways on their nightly journeys.

  • Join Help Nature Thrive for a new citizen science bat survey and help map where bats are active, and where they aren’t, across the park.
  • The evening begins with a 30-minute indoor introduction before heading out on a 1.5-hour survey walk. Using specialist bat detectors, you'll be able to hear the echolocation calls that bats use to navigate and hunt, revealing a side of the park that most visitors never experience.
  • Learn how scientists monitor bat populations and habitats.

Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast or simply curious, this is a unique opportunity to contribute to real conservation research while enjoying an unforgettable evening outdoors.
