Meetings are normally held at 7.30pm on the second Monday of each month, from September to May, at the Friends Meeting House, Bakewell, DE45 1EL. Parking is only for disabled people and those needing to load and unload equipment etc.

The meetings usually start with a report of recent bird sightings in our recording area and announcements concerning forthcoming events before we hand over to our guest speaker. There is normally a refreshment break around 8.30pm and we usually finish soon after 9.30pm.

Guests are always welcome to our talks (£4), where they can also discover more about our outdoor meetings to local birding hot spots.
