When the sun goes down, Flourish is inviting guests to join them at dusk for a family-friendly guided bat walk around Woodfield Park from 9.30pm – 11pm on 19th June

Led by Louisa from the South Yorkshire Bat Group, this evening walk will introduce you to the bats of South Yorkshire. You’ll learn how bats use echolocation and have the chance to listen to their calls using bat detectors as we explore the park after dark.
