Children will get to fly the smaller birds whilst adults will have the opportunity to fly an eagle also. Strictly no under 5's permitted in the Falconry Centre
This is a hands-on, unique experience.
Upon arrival at the Fishery & Falconry carpark please wait by the Falconry meeting point sign where a member of our team will come and greet you and check you in. Feel free to use the facilities at the Fishery as there aren't any where you will be flying the birds.
