Bat Walk
Advertisement
Explore Broadhurst Clough, Broadhurst Park Manchester at night to meet our bats
Bats have a vital role in ecology but are increasingly endangered. Broadhurst Clough, at the south end of Broadhurst Park, is one of the best places in Manchester to encounter them!
The Bat Walk will start with an introduction to these fascinating creatures and the equipment we will be using to detect them through their echolocation frequencies. We will then take a leisurely walk around the park, with the hope that we will see the bats just after sunset; the time when they start flying.
Good to know
The Walk will start at 20:15 and finish at 21:30 at the latest. Meet at the St Mary's Rd entrance to the Clough (close to the St Mary's Rd/Joyce St junction) the blue gate by the side of St Marys Nursing Home, Manchester M40 0BL what3words ///fence.help.hails
The event starts late because bats only start flying just after sunset. Temperatures can drop at night so remember to wrap up warmly. If you can bring a torch, that would be helpful, but is not essential.
Event is free, but places limited so booking essential
Getting There
Broadhurst Clough is about ten minutes drive from the centre of Manchester and 10 minutes from the M60 (Junctions 21 and 22). Plenty of street parking near the site (on Joyce St, round the corner)
