Half Day Hawkwalk and Falconry Experience

The half day experience would be concentrated in an informal classroom atmosphere with a mixture of talks and hands-on a Harris hawk.

This is an outdoor experience so please come prepared for the British weather!!!

There’s something mesmeric about the way a bird of prey alights on your arm. It’s to do with both the tremendous speed of approach and the stalling when it lands, an almost filmic effect of fast and slow motion
