Looking for an unforgettable experience? Why not try one of our Bird of Prey Experiences, available at various locations nationwide! Our half-day voucher offers you the flexibility to choose from a range of centres, giving you the perfect opportunity to bond with some of the most magnificent birds of prey. Our experiences typically take place in small groups, allowing you plenty of time to get up close and personal with the birds of prey at your preferred location. We work alongside falconers from all over the UK, ensuring that there’s a centre that suits your preferences. You'll start your experience with a warm welcome and an introduction to the birds. You'll learn about the fascinating history of falconry and gain insight into the day-to-day life of looking after these magnificent creatures. From breeding and feeding to training and conservation work, there's always something new to discover. On a half-day session, you'll have ample time to handle and fly the birds, and that magical moment when a raptor lands on your gloved hand is truly unforgettable. With their razor-sharp claws and proud beaks, this is an unmissable photo opportunity. At our centres, you'll witness first-hand the close relationship between our expert handlers and their birds. They work together seamlessly as a team and are highly successful hunters and flyers. Our half day nationwide bird of prey vouchers offer total flexibility, making them a perfect gift for your loved ones.
