The Cornwall Bat Hospital
Welcome to the website of the Cornwall Bat Hospital.


It is with deep regret that, owing to a lack of resources, it is not possible for us to take on new bats at the moment. However, we continue to provide the best care possible for our batty residents and will endeavour to help anyone with an interest in these unique mammals.

For bat emergencies in the Cornwall area, please contact either Chris & Sue Harlow on 01872 278695 or Steve Marshall on 01209 718602 during office hours.
For emergencies outside of Cornwall please call the Bat Conservation Trust Bat Helpline on 0845 1300 228.

If you are interested in helping us, either by funding our work, through donation or our 'adopt-a-bat' scheme, or by donating some of your time, please contact us via the contact page.

If you have an injured bat please go to the care page for information on bat first aid.


Go to the helpers page where you can see some video clips of bat helpers working with the bats.


If you're interested in bats in culture, have a look at the museum pages where you can see photographs of all sorts of objects that have been decorated with images of bats. Some of the bats are hard to see; can you find them?
