Bat Night has sold out, but you can join the waiting list.

Bat Night Only Tickets £14
Bat Night and Supper Tickets £23
We have up to 9 species of bats at Creswell Crags, including some that are a rare sight! Combine your evening with a pie and pea supper in our cafe before heading out into the gorge with Jack for an amazing experience.
