On one of our popular experience days, you’ll be joining one of our expert falconers for an interactive session like no other!
We have a number of sessions tailored towards a range of ages and interests, allowing us to help everyone get the most from their experience with us.
There's no better position to appreciate the raw power and majesty of a bird of prey than at arms length, so our exciting flying experiences offer you a unique opportunity to get up close to a variety of owls and other species!
What’s more, we even hold bespoke photography sessions as well as intensive handling courses for those with a more particular interest in what our birds have to offer.
