Happy birds, thrilled visitors and passionate hosts - that's falconry in Shrewsbury for you! This falconry centre offers tailor-made experiences for visitors and concentrates on providing insightful and totally hands-on meetings with the birds of prey. The centre is never open to the public, so you can rest assured that your experience will be personalized. Apart from the usual shows, school visits, and weddings around Shrewsbury, the falconers also engage in fascinating everyday tasks such as breeding, rearing, caring for, and training the lovable raptor residents. If you're interested in learning more about these tasks and other essential daily duties of a falconer and enjoy lots of flying, I'd definitely recommend the full-day course. For those who prefer a countryside stroll, the Hawk Walk is a great choice. The centre has about 600 acres of Shrewsbury countryside to explore, and the gregarious Hawk loves nothing better than a bit of company. It will sporadically fly right down to your gloved hand as you go, making the experience even more wonderful. The Owl experiences are an absolute favourite with the younger falconers (and often the adults too). The centre has gorgeous and photogenic owls like Scoobie and Freckle, and during these sessions, you will have plenty of time to take pictures and fly some owls, too. The centre has both indoor and outdoor arenas available. This full-day Falconry experience is a must-try, as it allows you to assist with preparing a bird of prey to fly, weighing process, and flying a selection of hawks, owls, and falcons throughout the day and so much more.
