Halloween Bat Walk with Habitats & Heritage
Halloween Bat Walk at Strawberry Hill
Friday 17 October | 5:30pm–7:00pm
As a prelude to Halloween, join us on Friday 17th October for a one-of-a-kind Halloween Bat Walk in the grounds of Strawberry Hill. With local conservation experts from Habitats & Heritage, you’ll step into Walpole’s wooded landscape at twilight, using bat detectors to tune in to the eerie calls of pipistrelles and other nocturnal hunters.
The evening will begin with a Gothic-themed introduction to Strawberry Hill and its gardens from one of our expert guides, setting the scene for your twilight adventure. You’ll then enjoy a short talk on bats, learn how to use specialist bat detectors, and discover fascinating facts about our local bat population before heading into the grounds at dusk.
Tickets: £10 adults | £5 children
All proceeds will support both the Strawberry Hill Trust and Habitats & Heritage, helping to care for our historic house and protect local wildlife.
Please arrive from 5:15pm for a prompt 5:30pm start.
Online booking is essential due to limited capacity.
Under 18's must be accompanied by a paying adult.
Additional information: This walk will be along woodland footpaths which in some areas will be unlit. Torches are advisable. The walk will be at a leisurely pace. Please come suitably attired for the weather and wearing appropriate footwear.
