Event:Bat Walks

St Fagans National Museum of History

If you’re a bat fan, then come along to St Fagans after-dark where we’ll go looking for some of the different species of bats that call the museum home.
With about 10 different species of bat living in St Fagans, we hope to see some bats during the walk but we can’t guarantee they’ll be flying when and where we want them to!
We’ll have some bat detectors to help us identify what type of bats are around as well.
