A FREE bat walk is to be held next Friday (October 2) at Fairlop Waters.

Starting at 6.15pm, the event will give residents an opportunity to learn more about the furry creatures and their lives in Redbridge from some of the council's Nature Conservation Rangers.

The event is not suitable for children under the age of seven.

Places must be booked in advance.

To do this, and for more information, call 8501 1426.
