The Abbey At Night - Discovering Bats (Member Exclusive)
Advertisement
Join us for an evening tour exclusively for Glastonbury Abbey Members!
The abbey is home to a variety of resident and migrating bat species, including pipistrelles, lesser horseshoe bats and the rare grey long-eared bat.
On this evening tour of the abbey, you'll join the Glastonbury Abbey team to learn about the different bat species you might spot and practice using a bat detector, before making your way into the grounds after sunset to discover the bats.
🦇 We won’t walk fast – and there will be a couple of benches to rest on the way.
🦇 The route will be on surfaced paths or grass, though we can vary the route if it helps. The walk itself will last approximately 1 hour.
🦇 Nature is weather dependent – and bats don’t tend to come out if it’s cold or wet – so we may need to rearrange if conditions aren’t suitable.
🦇 Please bring a torch and dress appropriately for the weather on the day, including sturdy footwear - it can get cold at night.
🦇 Bring any food or drink that you may need.
🦇 Quiet children 12 and over accompanied by a responsible adult are welcome.
🦇 As this is a wildlife walk dogs are not appropriate for this activity.
🦇 This walk starts at Abbey House. Please meet here to begin the briefing at 9pm.
Tickets are £8.
This is a Glastonbury Abbey fundraising event.
