The Ventnor Botanic Garden Friends Society have arranged for this popular annual event to take place during the summer holidays.
The meeting will start outside the Visitor Centre at the garden on Tuesday during Carnival week.
Graham Street from the Isle of Wight Bat Hospital is extremely knowledgeable about, and dedicated to, the welfare of these delightful little mammals.
He begins the evening with a fascinating talk about their habits and habitat, explaining their importance to us and the dangers to them.
A walk in the garden at dusk follows the talk when they can be both seen and heard with the aid of bat detectors.
Whilst there is no charge for this event, donations to the Bat Hospital are welcome. Do come and join us.
In the event of rain the event will be cancelled.
