About the event

Under the big, wild skies at Spurn, there are plenty of adventures to be had! Join us for a guided walk, in search of our elusive nocturnal residents.

Learn more about Britain's amazing bat species on a two hour walk with our helpful guides. You will learn how to use a bat detector and put this into action, becoming a bat detective. You will learn about the different frequencies bats use and how we are able to identify species through sound alone.
