Wildlife After Dark: A Halloween Evening at the Garden

A Halloween evening walk at St Andrews Botanic Garden exploring nocturnal wildlife and bats with bat detectors, ending with hot chocolate around the fire.

This two-hour outdoor evening event explores the wildlife that emerges at night in St Andrews Botanic Garden. The Garden's Education Lead introduces nocturnal animals and their adaptations, before University of St Andrews bat experts talk about Scotland's ten bat species and lead a search for bats using bat detectors to hear their ultrasonic echolocation calls. The evening finishes around the fire with hot chocolate and vegan marshmallows; attendees should bring torches and dress for the weather.
