About this Event

Join our warden with bat detectors in hand as we guide you through a wonderful world of bats. We will also listen for the bark of a muntjac or the call of a tawny owl - who knows what sights and sounds await once the sun has set over this ancient woodland?

Please be advised that this walk is weather dependent, and if raining or there are high winds it may have to be cancelled. Maximum walk length 1.5 miles. Uneven under foot. Waterproof shoes or wellies recommended, please bring a torch. Please note, this event is suitable for all ages but under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. Only guide/assistance dogs are allowed on the reserve.

Everyone’s welcome at Wayland Wood
As part of our commitment to making nature accessible for all, and to ensure local communities benefit from Wayland Wood, we’ve introduced the following ticketing model:

Free Community Tickets
We want everyone to feel welcome at Wayland Wood.
If you live within around a mile (20 minutes walk)of the site - or if cost would make it difficult for you to join, please choose a free community ticket.
No questions asked - just come and enjoy the event.

We’ve noticed that a few free places sometimes go unused, and as a charity, that can really add up. If you can’t make it, please cancel your ticket at least 24 hours before the event so someone else can take your place. We often run a waiting list and would love to offer your spot to another local resident.

Standard Tickets (Members / Non-Members)
If you don’t live locally, or you’re able to pay and would like to support our work, we’d really appreciate a small contribution towards keeping these events accessible for everyone.
Your ticket helps us cover basic costs and continue offering free community places at future events.

Come and be part of your local wild space - everyone’s welcome.


Accessibility
We want our events, and nature itself, to be accessible to everyone. If you have specific needs or requirements, please get in touch at [email protected] so we can support you wherever possible. Please be aware that the natural terrain and access conditions may limit what we are able to provide on site.
