Visit Petworth House and Park this October half-term and join in some awesome Autumnal fun. One of our young bats is planning a party for the creatures that live in the Pleasure Ground, but everyone has disappeared so he can’t give them their invite, can you help? You can also make your own Bat Box at one of our craft days running over the half-term period to give a bat a home in your garden.

Autumn Trail

It’s party time at Petworth! One of our young bats is throwing a huge spooky Halloween bash for the creatures in the Pleasure Ground but he can’t find any of them. Some of the animals are just too scared of bats to come to the Party. Can you find them and discover if bats are as scary as they think?

Find all of the animals and answer the questions on the trail sheet to complete the trail and win a prize.

The trail is suitable for children aged 5 and upward and is accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Prizes can be claimed at either Church Lodge or Car Park Receptions.
