Events at Donegal Town's Franciscan Abbey, St Johnston, and Glenveigh National Park

Discover Bats at Donegal Castle

Visitors can explore Donegal Castle at sunset and take part in a nocturnal adventure.

Young bat enthusiasts will create their own clay bat, hear a bat talk, and be tested on their bat knowledge in a quiz.

At sunset, the walk will begin with special bat detecting equipment so you can hear the bats as you walk around the castle and along the River Eske.

Refreshments are available at the event, which runs from 8pm until 10pm.

For further information, contact Donegal Castle OPW at donegalcastle@opw.ie or call 074 9722405.
