Our one-hour falconry experience is the ideal introduction for anyone curious about the incredible world of birds of prey. Designed for beginners and suitable for all abilities, this immersive session offers the perfect balance of education, hands-on interaction, and the unforgettable thrill of flying raptors.

Your experience begins with a 15-minute guided tour of the centre, where one of our experienced falconers will introduce you to the birds in our collection. You’ll learn about each species, ranging from owls to hawks and buzzards, their natural behaviours, unique adaptations, and how they are trained and cared for at our centre.

Following your tour, you will move straight into the highlight of the experience: flying 2–3 of our trained birds of prey. Under the guidance of one of our professional falconers, you’ll have the chance to fly these birds to the glove, perches, handle them safely, and gain a deeper understanding of how we work with raptors in modern falconry.

Please note: Any guests wishing to accompany you but not take part in the experience will require a spectator ticket, which can be added at checkout. This ensures access to the centre and viewing of the experience from designated areas.

This session is perfect for anyone wanting to take their first steps into falconry and feel the exhilarating rush of flying a bird free. Whether you’re exploring a new passion, seeking a unique gift experience, or simply looking for an unforgettable day out, this introductory encounter offers an inspiring and accessible gateway into the world of birds of prey.
