Our 30 Minute Bird Handling Experience is an ideal introduction for guests looking for a short yet memorable encounter with birds of prey. Suitable for adults and older children, this half-hour session offers a gentle, accessible taster of what it’s like to handle these incredible birds up close.

Your experience begins with a brief introduction from one of our professional falconers, who will guide you through the basics of handling and share fascinating insights into the birds you’ll be meeting.

You’ll then have the opportunity to handle a selection of our trained birds of prey on the glove, offering a unique chance to observe their features, behaviours, and personalities up close. With expert guidance throughout, this session ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for anyone curious about birds of prey but not yet ready for a full flying session.

This short, hands-on encounter is perfect for those wanting a quick but meaningful introduction to falconry—whether as a standalone activity or as a first step before booking a longer experience.

Please note: Any accompanying guests who are not taking part in the experience will require a spectator ticket, which can be added at checkout.

Whether you’re searching for a unique gift, a memorable day out, or simply a brief introduction to birds of prey, this 30-minute session provides a friendly and engaging insight into the world of raptors.
