About the event

There are 16 species of bat living in Norfolk, but how many of them can you spot in an evening by the Wensum? Join us as part of the River Festival for a short city stroll to learn more about these nocturnal delights and hopefully spot some as they feed above the water. We'll have our bat detectors at the ready!

Please be advised that this walk is weather dependent, and if raining or there are high winds it may have to be cancelled. Walk length around 1 mile.

Further joining details will be sent the week of the event.
