This falconry experience will be a day you’ll never forget! The session begins with a tutorial on the history and techniques of falconry. You will then learn about the husbandry and welfare of birds of prey along with information on falconry equipment. Then comes the main event, a chance to fly a bird of prey to the fist, an amazing experience with the magnificent creature resting on your arm. You will share this falconry experience with a maximum of 12 other people depending on your chosen location.
