Join us on this guided walk as the birds make their final calls as dusk descends and bats begin to emerge to feed at twilight.
About this Event

Join us for an enchanting evening immersed in nature as we explore the hidden wonders of local biodiversity. Led by Justin Ivory, this guided Walk & Talk experience begins at Marlary House and a gentle stroll up through Marlay Park just as the day winds down, offering a front-row seat to the dusk chorus - the magical time when birds make their final calls of the day.

As twilight deepens, we’ll tune in to the nocturnal world coming to life. We will observe bats in flight along Marlay Park treelines, learning how these fascinating creatures hunt, navigate, and contribute to the local ecosystem. Whether you're a seasoned nature lover or simply curious about the creatures that come out after dark, this is a memorable way to connect with the wild side of your surroundings.

Please Note: Children must be accompanied by an adult. Places are limited. To attend the event book your tickets on Eventbrite. Marlay Park Car Park closes at 10pm
