SUMMARY:Walk and Talk - Bats
DESCRIPTION:Join us in September to hunt for bats on a unique guided night walk through the arboretum.\nThis informative walk will begin in our handcrafted roundhouse as your guides offer introduction to the characteristics of the different bat species who make their home here. \nYou will then explore the arboretum on a leisurely paced walk\, armed with bat detectors so you can ‘hear’ and track any bat activity.  By September bats have finished raising their young and are starting to think about mating. Many of our bat species also start travelling to swarming sites (areas where lots of bats from a wide meet up to mate) at this time of year\, making it a great time to head outside in search of them! \nAfter the walk we will gather around the fire for hot beverages before departing. \nThere are limited numbers available\, so please do book early to avoid disappointment! \n\nKnowledge required: \nPerfect for beginners! \nGroup size: \n15 maximum. \nMinimum age: \nWe think this event might be most suited for those age 10+. However you know your child best\, if you think they’re able to be calm and quiet during the walk then they’re welcome to join at any age. \nOther information: \nFriends of Tortworth welcome to book the concessionary tickets. Find out more here. \nRead more about planning your visit here \nWant to be the first to hear about ticket releases and new events?  Sign up to our mailing list.

SUMMARY:Autumn Equinox Seasonal Day
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a self-guided walk through the peaceful Dell at Tortworth Arboretum this end of summer seasonal day. Watch the landscape shift as late summer softens into early autumn\, with hints of colour beginning to emerge across the forest. \nTake your time exploring using a marked trail map\, or wander freely and follow your own path. This ancient woodland was once choked by bramble\, bracken and rhododendron. Since 2014 it has been carefully restored by dedicated volunteers\, revealing hidden features such as an old arena and donkey steps once used to move produce from the kitchen gardens to the main house\, alongside a remarkable collection of over 600 native\, exotic and veteran trees. \nWhen you are ready for a rest\, follow the scent of woodsmoke back to the Roundhouse for a warm drink and a welcome pause. \nConnect with yourself\, connect with your loved ones\, connect with nature. \nTickets and information \nOur 2026 visitor days are supported in part by funding from the National Lottery Awards for All Environment Grant\, allowing us to offer entry on a sliding scale donation basis. \nSuggested donation tiers:\n• Free ticket: for those for whom any payment would cause genuine hardship\, including difficulty affording essentials such as food and bills. This ticket is also for anyone under the age of 17\n• £5: for those managing daily costs\, where a larger contribution would require budgeting\n• £8: for those who can contribute comfortably with minor adjustments to their monthly spend (for example forgoing a coffee elsewhere)\n• £10: for those with stable income or savings\, helping to sustain restoration work and support access for others \nYou are welcome to mix tiers within group bookings so each person can give according to their circumstances. For example\, a family may choose a mix of paid and free tickets depending on age and situation. \nYour donation really does matter. It is what keeps the arboretum open and cared for. Every path maintained\, every tree protected\, every tool\, sign\, trained staff member and insurance cost is covered through this support. The woodland may feel natural and effortless when you are here\, but the work behind it is continuous\, skilled\, and only possible because people choose to contribute. \nRead more about planning your visit.\nWant to hear about future events? Sign up to our mailing list\nLast entry one hour before closing
