Get ready for an unforgettable falconry experience at the beautiful Kelmarsh Hall estate, nestled on the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire border. This voucher is valid for one person to enjoy a shared group experience lasting approximately two hours, with the chance to get up close to some magnificent birds of prey. Set within a stunning 3,500-acre countryside estate, Kelmarsh Hall is surrounded by picturesque gardens, woodlands and a peaceful lake. It's the perfect setting for these incredible birds to spread their wings and show off their natural flying abilities. Your falconry experience will be hosted by Charlotte and Sophie, who bring plenty of knowledge, enthusiasm and humour to the day. Lead falconer Charlotte loves sharing fascinating facts and stories about the birds, although there's always a chance one of the feathered stars will decide to do things their own way! You will get to know their unique personalities, from Saki, the Brown Asian Wood Owl who likes to think she's in charge, to Jerry the European Kestrel with his impressive hovering skills, and Cardhu with her unmistakably loud call. Best of all, you will have the chance to fly at least two different species yourself, making this a truly hands-on experience. Your Kelmarsh Hall falconry voucher gives the lucky recipient the choice of either an owl experience or a birds of prey experience. There's no need to decide when purchasing – they can simply choose their preferred experience when booking. Perfect for wildlife lovers and anyone looking to try something a little different, this hands-on falconry experience makes a truly memorable gift!
