In Nottinghamshire, our mini falconry experiences for juniors are fantastic! They offer just the right balance: long enough to pack in plenty of learning, yet short enough to hold attention, making them perfect for children as young as four. Everyone enjoys these hour-long sessions. In our raptor field, you will encounter a variety of birds of prey. Chief Falconer Dan takes great pride in his impressive birds. You'll quickly discover that each bird has its own unique personality and can be just as playful as the children! Meeting and flying both a Barn Owl and a Kestrel is truly incredible. While they do possess sharp talons, they are well-trained to land gently on your gloved hand; reward them with a tasty treat, and they will form a bond with you. This experience also doubles as an enjoyable outing in the Nottinghamshire countryside, as you’ll be situated within the grounds of a well-loved family attraction near Farnsfield. These experiences cater to children from four years old, and adults can also use the vouchers, allowing them to engage fully in the activities. Spectator tickets are available on-site for those who prefer to observe (£10 at the time of writing) and can accompany the children during their visit. An excellent way to introduce kids to birds of prey and to enjoy the great outdoors, we believe our junior falconry experiences near Newark in Nottinghamshire are the ideal adventure for young falconers and their parents, too!
