Due to the popularity of our home education sessions, we’re delighted to introduce a dedicated Home Education Bird of Prey Day — an unforgettable, hands-on experience designed especially for home-educated children.

Whether you’re new to home education or a seasoned home schooler, this immersive day offers a unique opportunity to explore the fascinating world of birds of prey up close, guided by our experienced and knowledgeable falconers.
What to Expect
The day begins with an introduction to some of our owls. Children will have the chance to meet and handle different species, while learning fascinating facts such as:
How far an owl can turn its head
How owls achieve their incredible silent flight
Their remarkable hearing abilities
Owl Flying Experience
We’ll then head to the flying ground, where children can fly a variety of owl species, watching them glide silently onto their gloved hand.
Introduction to Falconry –  Children will explore the traditions of falconry, including:
Tying a falconer’s knot
Learning about different types of perches and their uses
Understanding why birds are weighed, how feeding works, and daily care routines
Lunch Break – 12:30 (45 minutes) -Lunch is not included, so please bring a packed lunch. An indoor area is available for eating and relaxing.
After lunch, we head out across the fields for a hawk walk. Children will see hawks in action as they fly through trees and along hedgerows before swooping back down to the gloved hand — a truly magical experience.
Back at the centre, we finish the afternoon by meeting some of our eagles. Children will have the opportunity to:
Meet and handle an eagle
Learn about their adaptations, habitats, and hunting techniques

This day does need to be pre-booked and we advise you book early to avoid disappointment.
£30.00 per child with one FREE spectating adult.
*Spectating adult can be with the children throughout the course of the day taking photos etc, the only time adults cant spectate is when we are out with hawks on the walk, this is due to too higher number of guests*
