Explore a world full of wonder and excitement at a beautiful farm park centre in Frilford, located near Oxford. You can enjoy our private birds of prey encounters with exclusive vouchers for up to four people, where you can choose from two unforgettable experiences - the Birds of Prey Encounter or the Owl Encounter.
Your adventure will begin with a tour of the aviaries and mews, where you can get up close to these majestic birds and take plenty of close-up photos. During the Birds of Prey Encounter, you'll learn about the noble sport of falconry, the upbringing of these magnificent creatures, and the daily routine of the falconer. This one-hour experience also includes a free-flying session, where you'll take three to five raptors out for exercise. Imagine the thrill of a beautiful bird flying over your head and landing on your gloved fist.
If you love owls, the Owl Encounter is a must. Spend an hour with the falconer and the owls, handling and flying at least three different species of these captivating creatures. With adorable little owls and bigger species' big, dark eyes, this experience is sure to leave you enchanted.
These experiences are perfect for family outings, as an hour is the perfect length of time to keep children captivated and entertained. All sessions are available on a private booking basis, so you, the birds, and your handler host will be the only ones present.

Christian Ashby
Great insight into the birds, James' knowledge of the animals and welfare is self evident, as is his passion for Falconry. Really impressed, and a great centre - really want to go back and do a longer course / hunting session.
Angela Ashby
This falconry centre is a true gem. James is incredibly knowledgable and made sure that we got the most out of the day. There are so many amazing birds to meet, and other animals such as meerkats, raccoons and ferrets. There is also a flying display to see in addition to your experience, so the value is extremely good. Highly recommended.
Dean Fouracre
This was a very hands-on day and the instructors made us feel very welcome and part of the experience. We flew multiple birds over the day and the instructors gave us a very detailed insight into Falconry. I would definitely recommend this.
Rich
Friendly and very knowledgeable staff, great day out.
Heather Ware

Loretta Thompson
Had a fabulous day, flying the birds was amazing
Ian Turner
I had a really good time and did more than what I was expecting. The birds were amazing and the knowledge of the keeper was excellent. Joe, the person who showed me round, was great, very helpful and a good sense of humour.
Kirsty lee
Brilliant day out. Great experience
Arthur Gill
First impressions are very important and with this company you are not disappointed. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and given a detailed explanation in what would be our program, straight away we were given a bird each to hold including my wife who was only there to spectate. I was given three birds to hold during the time which to my surprise included an Eagle. The owner has a deep passion for these birds and his knowledge is astounding, and although I may forget a lot of what he said I shall never forget the day.
Stewart
A really good day out. After watching the flying display you get to fly and feed the Birds of Prey youself - for me a Falcon, a Kestrel and a Reluctant Owl - he was a little put off by the tractor noise nearby! The handlers tell you all about the birds and there is time to look around the aviaries and visit the garden centre too. A lovely experience.
Dave Barton
The centre was del run and very well organised. The staff obviously had a great passion for their birds and were very knowledgable.
One negative is that I was not notified by Into the Blue that the Falconry Centre had moved to a new location after my experience was booked.
Michael Sheasby
Very interesting and instructive hour and a half. Good for 10 year olds upwards to grandparents. Very helpful staff. Lots of other things to do at Millets Farm. A very good morning or afternoon out
Sheila Wells
My husband has been ill and the staff were kind and caring. He had a wonderful interesting day and really enjoyed handling and leanring about the birds.
Sue
A wonderful day, packed with information from knowledgeable staff, delivered with great humour. The birds were, of course, the stars and it was fascinating handling them and watching them work. Would thoroughly recommend this 'experience'.
Francesca
Very enthusiastic and well informed staff. Really enjoyed handling the birds, staff made me feel at ease with that. We enjoyed seeing the display show with other birds before the 1 hour experience. Wide variety of birds within the centre, beautiful specimens, easy to walk around and see them up close. The birds look really well cared for. Highly recommended experience!
Trish Gillett
This was an amazing event to attend. The staff were great - passionate about the birds in their centre and very knowledgable. There were lots of different birds to fly and the whole day was filled with exciting new experiences. Thank you for a wonderful time.
