The Big Bat Trail - October Half Term Family Fun

A bat hunt with a prize at the end

Cheeky bats are hiding around Painswick Rococo Garden for half term. Follow the trail, discover bat facts and find every marker to earn a treat at the finish.

There is more to explore beyond the trail, including the maze, rustic play area, follies and autumn colour. The garden also has a cafe, nursery, shop and free parking, and welcomes well-behaved dogs on short leads.

Some paths are steep or uneven. The event is advertised across the half-term dates, but daily opening varies, so check the organiser's calendar before travelling.

Ticketed with general garden admission.
