Ouseburn Bat Safari
22nd May 2027 @ 9:15 pm – 10:30 pm
DISCOVER OUSEBURN’S NOCTURNAL NEIGHBOURS
Join Wild Intrigue on an urban wildlife safari to discover the intriguing nocturnal wildlife of Newcastle-upon-Tyne’s lush Lower Ouseburn Valley.
Setting off at sunset with bat detectors in hand, Wild Intrigue will guide you on a journey through Ouseburn to track bats down as they emerge from their roosts for ‘breakfast’. Bat detectors bring a whole new level to spying on these elusive mammals, allowing you to eavesdrop on their ultrasound clicks, slaps and pops as they hunt and communicate with each other.
These amazing mammals have cruised our skies for tens of millions of years – way before the first humans took their first steps. Join us to find out all about the bizarre anatomy and curious ecology of some of our longest-evolved mammals, right here in the city.
100% of Ouseburn Bat Safari ticket sales go directly into community rewilding project Wild Ouseburn, to help better understand and protect bats in the Lower Ouseburn Valley.
There are plenty of wild encounters to enjoy in Northern England, discover our full wildlife experience collection.
