Bats & Pizza Night

A relaxed night of al fresco food and wildlife under the setting sun

Rewild your week on a Wild Intrigue Bats & Pizza Night, hosted at the tranquil, rural glamping site Wild Northumbrian. This beautiful spot is set in the heart of Northumberland National Park on the edge of Kielder Forest, beneath the enchanting celestial blanket of the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park.

Upon arriving at the Swallow Hut you will be greeted by your Wild Intrigue guides, who will escort you to your al fresco dining table for the night. Once you’ve grabbed your first bottomless hot or cold drink of the night, the fun begins as Wild Intrigue guide you into making your own stone-baked pizza, with delicious dough. Which toppings will you choose?

Plates emptied, you’ll set off to explore the beautiful Wild Northumbrian meadow to discover creaturesemerging as the sun begins to set. Perhaps you’ll hear Tawny Owls calling, Roe Deer barking, or the Blackbird’s bedtime melody.

A cosy campfire will be waiting back at the Swallow Hut ready to toast marshmallows to enjoy with a hot chocolate. As the sun dips below the horizon, you’ll finally embark on a Bat Safari to track down bats emerging from their roosts. With bat detectors in hand you’ll be able to eavesdrop on these elusive creatures of the night, picking up their echolocation on route. Through fascinating facts and some (unashamedly) enthusiastic impressions from your Wild Intrigue guides, you’ll discover all kinds of intriguing insights into these magnificent mammals.

Our Bats & Pizza Nights are relaxed evenings tailored toward adults. Families with children aged 14+ may wish to attend, at parent’s discretion – please feel welcome to get in touch if you have questions about this.
