Dusk deer walk
Enjoy an evening walk around the deer park and find out about the red, sika and fallow deer.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
There are three types of deer in Studley deer park - red, fallow and sika. On Friday 11 October, 4.30-6.30pm, join our wildlife volunteers on a walk around the park to find out more about them. See - and hear - the rut as the season gets underway.
This is a free evening event, but parking charges apply at the Studley Royal car park (free for National Trust members and blue badge holders). If you've not visited the Studley Royal car park before, you can access this through the Studley Rodger village. There is no visitor parking in the village.
This event is in our deer park, which is free to access. If you'd like to visit the abbey ruins and water garden prior to the walk, there is an admissions fee - please see the 'Prices' section of our website for more information.
