Halloween Bat Walk with Habitats & Heritage at Strawberry Hill House

join us on for a one-of-a-kind Halloween Bat Walk in the grounds of Strawberry Hill. With local conservation experts from Habitats & Heritage, you’ll step into Walpole’s wooded landscape at twilight, using bat detectors to tune in to the eerie calls of pipistrelles and other nocturnal hunters.

The evening will begin with a Gothic-themed introduction to Strawberry Hill and its gardens from one of our expert guides, setting the scene for your twilight adventure. You’ll then enjoy a short talk on bats, learn how to use specialist bat detectors, and discover fascinating facts about our local bat population before heading into the grounds at dusk.

Tickets: £12 adults | £7 children

All proceeds will support both the Strawberry Hill Trust and Habitats & Heritage, helping to care for our historic house and protect local wildlife.
