A BAT walk has been organised by the Friends of Darwen Cemetery.

The free event on Saturday, May 12, is suitable for adults and children. Meet at 8pm at the Whitehall Community Building in Whitehall Road, for a short talk before a walk in the Western Cemetery.

For the second occasion running, the walk is to be led by the East Lancs Bat Group. A previous walk in September attracted more than 60 people.

Walkers are advised to beware that the ground in the cemetery is very uneven, so sensible footwear and care is needed. Torches may also be required and children should be accompanied by an adult. For further information, call Rosemary on 01254 708828 or rosemary jackson@darwencemetery.org
