Falconry Experiences

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

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience

To see the birds close up, on our arms, was fantastic. Plus there was plenty of information given about the birds

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!

Really clear instructions for the day. The piglets were absolutely adorabld

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.

Received this experience as a gift and can say it was a lovely trip. Our guide Oli was very polite, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the birds. The other staff members were also as lovely. The whole centre is well worth a visit as loads of other animals to see and the coolings shop also has lovely items & the cafe also nice. A really lovely day out thank you.

Really great experience. Lots of birds and photo opportunities. Friendly staff too

Lovely experience

Fantastic day!
