Join our resident bat licenced ecologist Karl to learn about the wonderful world of bats, while you build a wooden bat box.
About this Event

This autumn, support local wildlife while learning new skills. Join us in our Urban Farm, where you’ll learn about different species of bats and how these nocturnal creatures are a vital part of our ecosystem. Then get hands on creating wooden bat boxes for the bats to use for years to come. These are easy to make, and Karl will guide you through the process.

No previous woodworking skills are needed, just an eagerness to learn! You will be taught how to use tools safely, and all supplies are provided.

Suitable for both adults and children interested in getting hands on and learning about bats. Workshop includes a 15 minute break with warm drinks and mince pies.


Date and time: Saturday 14th December, 12 midday to 3pm

Tickets available: 8

Price: £15 per ticket

We will be making 8 bat boxes in this workshop, so one bat box per ticket. Children must be aged 10+.


Accessibility: We have a composting toilet in our Urban Farm. For safety you will need to stand for the majority of the workshop, though there will be seating, breaks and a hot drink available. This session will be run outside in our Phase 1 Urban Farm, or in the case of bad weather, inside our cabin. Please wear weather proof clothing and sturdy waterproof shoes.


In the days following the workshop Karl will take your bat box into our woodland and place it high in the trees to provide crevice homes for the bats of our woodlands. We will send you pictures of your box in our woodland and in Spring (date TBC), we’ll welcome you back to Northern Roots for a guided dusk walk to see your bat boxes and – fingers crossed – the bats in action!

Please be aware that the Spring time walk will be across uneven and muddy terrain. If you let us know in advance if you have accommodation requirements and we can look into making this walk accessible for all.


If you book and are unable to attend, please email [email protected]. We cannot offer refunds but tickets are transferable. If you have any questions or queries, please email us and we’ll be happy to help.


The Northern Roots charity is creating the UK's largest urban farm and eco-park on 160-acres of urban green space in Oldham. All money raised is put back into the Northern Roots project, supporting our vision for an urban green space that benefits people, planet and place. Learn more here.
