Your chance to discover the elusive mammals that take to the skies after dark. Led by Somerset Bat Group, you will learn all kinds of fascinating facts about their behaviour, ecology, and what makes bats so special! Use your night vision as well as sound detectors to work out exactly which species make their home around RSPB Ham Wall.

Booking is essential - this is a ticket only event. Advanced booking only.

Booking fees apply.

Please note parking fees (£3 all day) apply for non-members. RSPB members park for free by displaying membership cards on dashboards. Car park gates will close automatically shortly after the walk has finished.

Please arrive at the Ham Wall car park with time to spare. We suggest you bring a torch/headtorch as the paths through the reserve are unlit and uneven in places. Please wear sturdy footwear and dress for the weather, bringing your own refreshments if necessary.

What's the refund policy?

The behaviour of bats is very weather dependent, so please be aware that we may have to cancel the event if the weather is not forecast to be suitable. We will let participants know at least 24 hours in advance if the walk has to be cancelled and refunds will be issued. Thanks for your understanding.

Attendees can cancel their tickets and receive a refund up to 7 days before the event start date. Refunds are subject to an administration fee. We do not offer refunds for cancellations made within 7 days of the event.

IMPORTANT: We respect your privacy and will not sell your personal data to any third party.

Any personal data you provide here is collected and used only for the purposes of booking this event. Your details will only be used by this event's RSPB co-ordinator and will not be shared with anyone else.
