Sgwrs : Bats of Dinefwr

Bats, Myths & Moonlight: Discover Dinefwr’s Winged Residents

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join our team for a fascinating talk exploring the myths and legends surrounding bats — creatures of folklore, mystery, and nighttime magic. Learn about the bat species that call Dinefwr home and discover where they roost, what they eat, and how they live. From ancient tales to real-life behaviours, this is your chance to get up close (but not too close!) with the secret life of bats. Perfect for curious minds of all ages.

Alongside this event, a visit to Dinefwr includes the magnificent Newton House and its garden, sat within a historic nature-rich parkland, adjacent to the ancient Deer Park and Dinefwr Castle. Within the house there are three floors to explore, including a series of exhibitions, the café and second-hand bookshop. There’s always children’s activities in the house and plenty of places to explore outdoors.
