Your Half Day Hands-on Falconry Experience begins with a guided tour of the centre and introduction to their extensive collection of birds.

You will be taught the basic skills of falconry, shown the equipment used and, as it is a hands-on experience, you will get to handle and fly a range of owls, hawks, falcons, vultures and eagles.

Go on a hawk walk in the forest or along the Pennine Way and experience the thrill of a falcon stooping at speed inches above your head. The welcoming owners enthusiasm for their extraordinary collection of birds and the fabulous location create the perfect combination for an unforgettable falconry experience.
