About this Event
Graveyard Bat Walk with Steve England!
Steve will show you how to identify the different species of bats to be found in Greenbank Cemetery and how to listen to the sounds of the bats using “bat detectors”. Although mainly staying to the foot paths around the cemetery, we may be going over uneven ground, so please wear suitable footwear and bring a torch if you have one. If you have your own bat detector, please feel free to bring it with you!
A percentage of tickets sales will go towards enhancing Royate Hill Local Nature Reserve.
Early booking is advised as these walks by Steve are immensely popular and sell out very quickly! There is currently a limit of 20 attendees for this Bat Walk.
PLEASE NOTE MEETING POINT (do not go to main entrance to Greenbank Cemetery)
We will be meeting outside the Greenbank View entrance of Royate Hill Local Nature Reserve.
Directions: when turning into Royate Hill from Fishponds Road, take the first right (Edward St) and carry along until you see the cemetery railings on your left. The entrance to the reserve is immediately before the railings.
Please arrive 15 minutes before start of the event as it will begin promptly at 9. 15. Many thanks!
Please check emails closer to the day in case of rare event that it is cancelled.
Cancellation/Postponing due to poor weather:
SE Outdoor Learning events take place outdoors, and therefore unfortunately, we may need to postpone or cancel in the days leading up to the event if it seems that the weather will be too poor for it to be run safely. We will always aim to confirm cancellation of the event 24 - 48 hours in advance (though on very rare occassions, sudden weather changes may mean it's closer than this). Please be aware that there is no guarantee of experiencing bats on the night. Please keep an eye on your emails and Facebook for updates on the event.
We look forward seeing you at another Graveyard Bat Walk with Steve England!
