Curraghchase Forest Park Guided Bat Walk

Celebrate Heritage Week 2026 with a guided bat walk!

Join Vincent Wildlife Trust, Limerick City and County Council, and Coillte for an evening exploring the world of bats. As darkness falls, discover bats in their natural habitat using bat detectors and learn how to identify the species flying overhead.

📍 Curraghchase Forest Park (meet at the main car park)
🕘 9:00pm–10:30pm

Why not start your evening with our bat lecture? A fascinating talk on all nine Irish bat species takes place at 7:00pm in the Great National South Court Hotel, Raheen Roundabout.

Please note: The lecture is a separate bookable event. If you would like to attend the lecture before the bat walk, you must book a place on the lecture when registering.

A graphic artist will be documenting both events, with the completed artwork available to view afterwards on www.vincentwildlife.ie.

If attending this event, please wear closed-toe shoes with a good grip. Dress appropriately for the weather. Avoid wearing shorts and T-shirts to help protect yourself from biting insects.
