bat box making

Join a member of the Exbury team at this fun and educational workshop specially designed for socially distanced family groups. Turn a collection of pre-cut wooden pieces into a cosy nesting place to take home and hang in your garden. We’ll lend you the tools you need and give you some tips along the way as you put the bat box together. We’ll also provide some useful information on bats.
