A National Heritage Week Bat Walk in Ballincollig Regional Park

Welcome to a Heritage Week Bat Walk in Ballincollig Regional Park, starting inside Cork Biodiversity Hub. Join us on Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at 8:00 PM for an event exploring the nocturnal world of bats.

Starting with a short talk on bat ecology, get ready to learn fascinating facts about these creatures while enjoying a leisurely stroll through the park.

This event is perfect for nature enthusiasts and anyone curious about the wildlife that calls Ballincollig Regional Park their home. Our guides will lead the way, providing insight into the behaviour and habitats of bats, and demonstrating the use of 'bat detectors'. Don't forget to bring comfortable shoes, a spare flashlight (if you have one), warm clothes and a sense of adventure!

Booking essential. Places are limited. All children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. We hope to see you there!

This event has been organised through collaboration between Cork City Biodiversity Officers, Cork Biodiversity Hub and Bat Conservation Ireland . This event has been supported through the Heritage Council via Ceangal and the Local Biodiversity Officer Programme, and NPWS via the Local Biodiversity Action Fund.
