All ages are welcome to come along to learn more about these wonderful creatures and enjoy handling them. There is also the opportunity to experience the thrill of flying a bird in a controlled environment with experts on hand to guide you.

The birds and expertise are provided by the English School of Falconry who run the largest centre in the UK with around 300 birds. They are based in the fantastic grounds of Shuttleworth, Beds - about half an hour away by car. For further information on their daily displays and activities, courses and specialist hunting days visit their website at www.birdsofpreycentre.co.uk.
