Britain's What's On Event Guide
Junior Bat Walks
As darkness falls WWT London Wetland Centre becomes a truly magical place and one of the best places in London to see bats as they fly in at night to feed over our lakes and ponds. Children can now join us on a nocturnal adventure to find these mysterious creatures, using special bat detectors to hear their hunting calls. We finish up around the camp fire to share our stories and toast marshmallows.
Suitable for children aged 7+
Children must be accompanied by an adult but due to capacity please note there is a limit of one adult per booking
Dates: Thursdays 15, 22th and 29 August
All visitors should come in by the main gate to the Centre. Please note that gates open at 19.00.
There will be a short break, so please bring snacks and a drink. Although the site is well surfaced, we recommend wearing sensible shoes and bringing clothing suitable for the weather. Bear in mind that even in summer it can be chilly at night.
Torches are allowed, but follow all instructions from group leaders on their use so we’re successful at finding bats and don’t scare them..
At the end, we have marshmallows for everyone to roast over a fire. They’re suitable for most diets (Vegan-friendly marshmallows are used), however, they may contain traces of nuts so are not suitable for people with a nut allergy. Feel free to bring your own alternative if you’d like!
