Bat & Beer Night
Discover more about the amazing nocturnal world of bats with an evening bat talk & walk at WWT Washington
Join our reserve team for an evening bat walk and enjoy learning about these fascinating mammals.
Learn about British bat species and the variety of work we do to help them thrive here at Washington. Enjoy a chat with our reserve team as you sip a refreshing ale (or Ginger ale!).
We'll then head out for an evening walk to Hollowood and the reservoir where we'll search for bats using hand-held bat detectors to pick up the presence of different species.
