Bird of Prey Falconry Experience

A chance to get up close and personal with magnificent, regal birds of prey. Learn about the art of falconry, with the chance to try it yourself. The experience begins with a tour of the bird of prey centre, with the chance to get close to and learn about hawks, falcons and owls. You’ll then get some expert tuition in the art of falconry and have some time to handle and get comfortable with the birds – and so they’ll get comfortable with you.

Then it’s time to put what you’ve learnt into practice and try falconry for real. You’ll fly some birds to the fist, watching them showing off their skills. Get some medieval-style thrills when a top predator comes in to land on your glove.

• Spend time at a falconry centre meeting Britain's top predators
• Learn about the history of falconry and the different types of birds
• Get comfortable with handling different species of birds
• Fly birds of prey to the glove - there's nothing else like it
