Take a walk on the wild side as we go on the search for the bats who make their home in the grounds of Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and uncover the secrets of creating a bat-friendly environment.

You’ll also discover the work that has gone into ensuring that the grounds of Anne Hathaway’s Cottage are able to support a thriving bat population, alongside the wider biodiversity efforts that are underway as part of our Sustainable Shakespeare initiative.
Guests are recommended to wear weather-appropriate clothing and footwear as most of the tour will take place outside.
