Join Dr Lisa Cawthen for an evening of chiropterology, where she will introduce you to the captivating world of bats and the life of a bat scientist. Enjoy a fascinating talk on bats and a hands-on introduction to bat-detecting gadgets, then test your chiropterology skills on a short walk.
After the talk, consider joining the group for dinner at the Fern Tree Tavern, and get the opportunity to ask all your battiest questions. (Dinner is optional and not included in the ticket price.)

A Seat at the Table
Beaker Street Festival’s pay-it-forward initiative, A Seat at the Table, helps make our science and art offerings accessible to those who can’t afford to purchase a ticket. When you buy a ticket you have the option to donate towards the cost of a stranger’s ticket. You won’t know who you’ve helped, but your donation will go directly to allowing someone else to access this great event.
If you’d like to request one or two free tickets, please let us know. If we can offer you a seat, we’ll notify you by email.
