Great Morning
We had the bird of prey experience given to us for a birthday present. We had a great morning and the falconer was extremely knowledgeable. He kept us enthralled the whole time and we learned a lot about birds of prey. We got to handle them afterwards and we all had a go at flying them. Wonderful experience. One word of warning. There’s no seating so it was a bit hard on the legs having to stand for 3 hours. Bring a fold up chair if you can. It was a bit chilly standing in the field, so wear plenty of warm clothing.
Highly recommended

Three Hour Birds of Prey Experience for One – Special Offer
Jax68 · 25-09-2022
Far too exceeded our expectations
Our 3 hour experience was absolutely amazing.
Set in the garden of the Mole Trap pub in Epping Forest. Laura, the falconer was full of fascinating facts about these amazing birds. We were able to hold several birds, including an enormous bald eagle, various owls and a Harris hawk. We had the opportunity to have some of the birds fly to our gloved hand.
The location was in the middle of nowhere, but had the added bonus of the pub to enjoy a meal after. Thoroughly recommend.

Very Enjoyable Experience!
The experience was great! The hawk was beautiful and very well trained. The guide was very enthusiastic and they had a great sense of humour. They were very knowledgeable about the birds and they were good with inexperienced/anxious participants. Very enjoyable experience. Also it is positioned in a very beautiful garden centre which makes it a nice day out!

Very enjoyable nature experience
Fantastic day out, got up close to owls and learned what was a myth and what was factual. Also learned about general bird population behaviours which were experienced during the day - educated in an engaging and friendly way.
Owl Encounter in Derbyshire with BB Falconry

Amazing
My 13-year-old and I had an amazing time on the meerkat experience. We went into three different enclosures where the meerkats climbed on us, sat on us and we got to feed them. We were really lucky as in the last enclosure there were three babies (6 wks) who also climbed on us and wanted lots of snuggles. Our guide was Charlotte who was fab and very knowledgeable. The actual zoo is great too with lots of different animals to see and some to handfeed as well. Definitely recommend this experience gift, and Hoo Zoo

A wonderful experience for a gift
I attended the Falconry experience at Stratford Park Hotel , what a wonderful three hours. The Falconer was so knowledgeable, had endless amusing anecdotes and information and connected so well with the participants. The birds were so beautiful and to be able to get close to them and take part in the feeding of them was a joy . I thoroughly recommend the experience.
