British Bats 🦇

Prepare for Halloween by learning more about our British bats.

Time & Location

Wotton-under-Edge, The Chipping, Wotton-under-Edge GL12 7AD, UK

About the event

Bats make up a quarter of all British mammals, with 18 bat species resident in the UK. Our bats:

  • like the dark
  • eat insects
  • have complex social groups
  • share maternal care with other related bats
  • sing to attract mates
  • migrate - up to 2,000km away from the UK

Prepare for Halloween by learning more about bats! 

Jim will take us on a guided safari of British bats to learn about how they navigate in the dark, find prey, find a mate and raise young.

Jim Mullholland is an ecologist and arborist, with a particular interest in bats & veteran trees.
