Spot bats at the Castle at this sell-out event!

Be on the lookout for our night-time flying friends on an expert-led stroll through the Hartlebury Castle grounds. Phil Playford and members of the Worcestershire Bat Group will teach you all about bats, their habitats and how to find them – thanks to their specialised equipment.

We’re lucky to host several different species, including horseshoe bats and pipistrelles. Which will you be lucky enough to see?

After your gentle walk, treat yourself to a delicious local beer or non-alcoholic drink on the Castle terrace (included in your ticket). Finish your evening from the comfort of your own camping chair as you keep an eye out for more brilliant bats!
