Falconry Experiences for the whole family

Group Sessions

Create incredible memories on one of our fully hands on, fun and informative experiences. You will be given a glove to use throughout each session (yes you become the falconer!) this gives you a unique opportunity to get up close and personal to our birds and to marvel as these majestic birds fly to your gloved hand.
You will be given ample opportunity to take lots of photographs and videos if you wish.We keep our group numbers small to enhance your experience.We have a covered flying area so our lovely british weather never becomes a problem. Our flying areas have seating, you won't need to stand for the entire session. Wheelchairs and mobility scooters can be used in the areas.

Please be aware to book a private session you need a minimum of 2 participants (if this is not possible for you, please contact us to discuss) These sessions are usually held mid week, we have a very limited number of weekends available, start times can vary to suit your needs.

Meet the Owls

1 - 11/2 Hours

These are solely private sessions aimed mainly for younger ages, people a little nervous about meeting/flying birds for the first time or individuals/groups with special needs. You will meet our smaller owls who will sit on the glove calmly, helping you to feel more relaxed. If participants are willing, we will fly a couple of smaller owls to you (but it is entirely up to you)

“I went with my daughter, not really knowing what to expect. We had the best time. We learned so much about all the birds and got to be up close with them all. Flying them was such a treat. Alice and her dad looked after us and made sure we got the most from the afternoon. Highly recommended”.kayj12
Superb meeting the birds with young children
Feb 2024 • Family
“Alice (and her mum) were amazing! So informative, all our questions answered. Lots of lovely facts about the birds explained at a level for both the children and adults. Our 4 and 8 year old got to hold the birds and fly some which they loved. Our 10 year old was nervous but stroked and few and still had a lovely session”.Harriet
10/10 we’ve booked in again
May 2023 • BusinessWow!! What can I say, Alice was fantastic to work with. I booked in for a photography event with the Birds and my models and between me keeping the models and photographers aware and happy, we had Alice and an employee keep us all informed with the Birds. We all felt very safe and could see the Birds were loved and not just worked. All communication with Alice has been fantastic. 10/10 recommend. I’ve booked in again for March 2024.Charlotte B
10/10, would do again !
Dec 2023 • FamilyWe had an absolutely fantastic time. The session lasted for 2 hours and we flew and stroked a number of different owls. We learnt many interesting facts from Alice and her dad. The owls were clearly well looked after and very calm. It was undercover so the poor weather didn’t affect us. Highly recommended.Dawn P
Great value experience
Sept 2023 • FriendsWe had a fantastic afternoon meeting and flying some amazing birds of prey. In total we saw 11 different species of owls and raptors, including a buzzard and European eagle owl. It's a packed afternoon and as there’s only a small group of 10 people, everyone gets to hold/fly each bird 3-4 times with plenty of opportunities for photos.Alice and her Dad are incredibly knowledgeable and it's clear to see how much they care for these beautiful birds. They give clear instructions and you quickly gain confidence in handling the birds. They were extremely helpful towards the lady in our group who was in a wheelchair, with appropriate adaptations for her.I really recommend this experience, I think it's excellent value for money and I intend to take my Dad for his birthday next year.BurtonTrekkie
Brilliant!
Jun 2023 • CouplesBrilliant! We went on the Birds of Prey experience and it was excellent. There are lots of different birds and you can handle them and fly them all. Alice, who runs ARD, does a lot of the show, ably assisted by her dad, who brings the birds and guides us idiot novices on how to handle them. She is so skilled and knowledgeable and gives very interesting commentary the whole time.We know a lot more about birds now, that's for sure. It's a remarkable experience being so close to such majestic creatures. It lasts about 3.5 hours altogether with half an hour break, so it's a great afternoon out.
Thoroughly recommended.sue g
A hoot, not to be missed!
Apr 2023 • CouplesImagine the best afternoon possible and then double it! If you love birds and wildlife this is unmissable. We really appreciated all the knowledge, care and good humour that Alice and her Dad put into this experience, the afternoon flew by (no pun intended). The welfare and comfort of the birds was given top priority and the love the owners have for the owls was a joy to see. We were in a group session, and we were all given lots of time handling and flying the owls with plenty of instruction given. We also had time to take photos with the owls. The whole thing was marvellous and we are already planning our next visit.
