About the event

There's a vampire living at Sutton Courtenay Environmental Education Centre... but don't worry - he won't bite! Follow the trail and learn about some of his 'batty' friends who live on the nature reserve. 

Stretch your legs this half term and explore our beautiful nature reserve at one of the most picturesque times of year. This trail takes you on a circular route where you will become a bat expert and learn about these fascinating creatures.

This self-guided trail follows a signposted route through our woods and meadows. The trail takes 1-1.5 hours to complete depending on dwell time at each panel. Event times are advertised as 10am-2pm – you may stop by at any point between these times to complete your trail (but pre-booking for the day is essential, see terms & conditions). Please note that most of the trail follows unsurfaced paths so may not be suitable for buggies or wheelchairs following periods of heavy rain. There are outdoor tables available should you wish to stay for a picnic lunch. All children must be supervised by an adult at all times. Please book free adult tickets for all accompanying adults.

Useful info:

-The toilets and baby change will be open however there will not be access to any other areas of the education centre including classrooms.
-Each booked child will receive a handout which features activities and shows the trail route.  You will be able to collect your event handout when you check in with a member of our team.
-Sorry, dogs are not allowed on our nature reserve.
