Felted Bat Workshop
Craft a spooky, needle-felted bat ornament, all materials provided.
- Booking essential
We have many species of bats that live and hunt in Woodchester Park. Most notably, both Greater AND Lesser Horseshoe Bats that roost in Woodchester Mansion. Celebrate the spooky season and the bat conservation work we do in the park while learning how to craft a felted bat ornament to take home. Sit in the warmth of Tinkley Gate Cafe while the workshop teaches felting techniques from scratch, absolute beginners are very welcome.

- Other
We will be meeting in the cafe at the Tinkley Gate entrance to Woodchester Park. There are two car parks for Woodchester Park. One is called Buckholt and the other is called Tinkley Gate. The brown signs direct you to Buckholt rather than Tinkley Gate. If you have access to google maps then typing in "Tinkley Gate National Trust Car Park" will take you to the correct entrance. If you follow Tinkley Lane between Nympsfield and Nailsworth, then look out for two yellow banners on the same side of the road that mark the entrance to Tinkley Gate Car Park.
