Enjoy a family-run birds of prey experience near Horsham in West Sussex with a fantastic one-hour ‘Rangle’ session at the beautiful Sumner’s Ponds. Perfect for ages 8 and over, this hands-on taster is a great introduction to falconry. You will meet a range of incredible raptors and experience the thrill of flying them to and from your glove, all while learning fascinating facts—like how ‘rangle’ stones help birds of prey digest their food. Each bird has its own personality, making every moment memorable, look out for Bamu, the cheeky African Spotted Eagle Owl with a love for plane watching! Set on a scenic working farm with lakes and woodland, it’s the perfect spot for a unique day out, plus there’s a lakeside café for a post-experience cuppa and cake.
