Our hands-on falconry sessions allow you to handle and fly a variety of birds, from the powerful Eurasian Eagle Owl to the graceful Kestrel. Feel the rush as a magnificent bird of prey lands on your gloved hand and takes off in flight, showing off their natural flying ability!

The landscape provides the perfect backdrop for this incredible experience. Surrounded by lush woodlands and open fields, you’ll feel completely immersed in nature as you engage with our birds.

From family-friendly sessions to specialised experiences for photography enthusiasts, we have something for everyone. While our main 3 hour experience session has an age limit of 16, we provide mini sessions for the young ones!

What should I wear for a falconry session? Wear comfortable clothing suitable for the outdoors and sturdy shoes. Gloves and equipment will be provided by us.

Is there an age limit for participants? Our 3 hour falconry sessions have an age limit of 16. However, our Mini Experiences allow all ages.

Can I bring my camera? Absolutely! We encourage guests to capture their experience and share the magic of falconry.

Are there toilets? Unfortunately there are no toilet facilities on site, as we are not a zoo licensed centre, the sessions take place in a farmers field that does not have facilities.

Can I bring someone to watch? Of course! You can add spectator tickets to your booking for £10 or bring £10 cash on the day!

Are refreshments included? Yes, we stop for a coffee break half way through and a drink is provided, then the Bubble Inn Pub just down the road will give you 10% off food for booking on the session!

What happens if the weather is bad? Safety is our priority. In case of inclement weather, we will reschedule your session for another suitable date.
