About the event

Experience the bats of Barnsley that call this beautiful greenspace home. The Fleets is a mixed habitat of woodland and a lake, which makes for a perfect combination of habitat for bats to forage from.

We will provide bat detectors for you to borrow so we can hear the bats and help locate them. We will then be able to see them flying and foraging around the site.
