Family Bat Night

Family Bat Night

Come and enjoy a campfire* and learn about bats in a beautiful private woodland.

We will start by making s'mores around the campfire and talking about bats.

We will then play a 'Bat - Moth' game and learn how to use a bat detector to listen to bat echolocation calls.

After the sun has set, we will head off on a walk around the woods to look and listen for bats. If we are lucky we may see glow worms too!

*If the dry weather spell continues and it is not safe to have a campfire, we will make fruit and marshmallow skewers instead.

Cost:

Standard ticket: £10.50 per child
Supporter ticket: £12.50 per child (for those who are happy to pay a little more to subsidise a place for those who can’t afford to pay the standard price)**
Discounted ticket: £6.50 per child (for those who paying the full cost would currently prevent them from attending)

Adults places are free.

**The idea behind 'pay it forward' systems like this is to do acts of kindness which will have a positive effect on others, and in return the recipients are just asked to pass on the good deed to keep the cycle going.

What to bring:

• Please bring a torch.
• Bring your own drinks.
• Wellies are the best footwear. Trainers are ok after periods of dry weather.
• Please come dressed in long trousers and long-sleeved tops, to protect yourselves from ticks.
• Insect repellent is a good idea to repel ticks, midges and mosquitoes.
• As the sun sets, the temperature will drop, so bring extra warm layers and waterproofs if rain is forecast.

Location:

Hazel Hill Wood, Hazel Hill Wood, Grimstead Road, near Farley, Salisbury, SP5 1AU.
