Several species of bats reside at the hall, including the common pipistrelle and soprano pipistrelle. Eagle-eyed visitors might be able to spot the bats sleeping in small crevices in the Saloon.
The wellbeing of our bats is very important to us, and all precautions have been put in place to ensure their protection while our building works are taking place. Follow the link below to find out how we are doing, and discover how many bats were spotted during our last bat survey.
We will be holding more bat surveys throughout the year - keep an eye out for the dates.
