About the event

After sunset, a new world of wildlife is just waking up. Join us for a family guided walk, searching for Nower Woods creatures of the night!

As dusk settles and the nightshift clock on, we will explore the woodland looking for signs of bats, owls, badgers and other crepuscular creatures. Take part in a bat quiz! Using bat detectors, the staff and volunteers will help you identify the night fliers and other wildlife we find along the way. Have a hot chocolate on your return to warm up.

Suitable for families with children 5-12years. Older children very welcome.

The evening will run from 6:45 - 8:45pm at Nower Wood Education Centre.

Parking is available but limited so we encourage car sharing where possible. For this event you may park in the areas labelled coach parking as well as the usual car park. When you arrive, you will need to walk through the carved archway and up the steps to the centre. There is accessible parking outside the centre, please contact us in advance to ensure a space is available.

This event is suitable for all ages, although we do want to mention that only the areas around the centre are pushchair friendly and we will be out being active in the woodland for the majority of the time . If you would like more information about accessibility for the day please don't hesitate to call us. Please get in touch if any members of your party have individual accessibility needs. All children must be accompanied by an adult, and booking is essential.

You will need to bring waterproofs and shoes suitable for exploring the woods. We advise wearing long sleeves and long trousers/leggings to avoid the risk of prickly plants or picking up ticks - please ask if you would like more info on this.
