About

This autumn half-term, join Gunner Bruce, a Victorian soldier and amateur naturalist, as he investigates some mysterious bat sightings at The Needles Old Battery.

It's a fun and educational adventure for the whole family—perfect for anyone with a love of wildlife and a taste for mystery this Halloween season!
