Ouseburn Bat Safari

Discover Ouseburn’s night life

As the sun sets, join Wild Intrigue on a journey to track down bats as they emerge from their roosts to begin their nightly foraging. With bat detectors in hand, you’ll eavesdrop on the ultrasonic clicks, slaps and pops as these mysterious mammals hunt and communicate with one another.

These amazing creatures have cruised our skies for millions of years, long before the first humans walked the earth! Delve into the bizarre anatomy and curious ecology of some of our planet’s most ancient mammals, right here in the heart of the city.

Proceeds from Wild Intrigue’s Ouseburn Bat Safaris go straight into better understanding and conserving bats in the Wild Ouseburn project area.

There are plenty of wild encounters to enjoy in northern England, explore our full collection here.
