About the experience
Experience the thrill of flying birds of prey in the beautiful North Devonshire countryside with our exclusive one-hour falconry experience! Our private falconry experiences can accommodate up to two adults and two children aged 10-16. We offer adult vouchers and family packages. The experiences are held in a serene location between Okehampton and Bideford. Passionate falconer David will be your host for the event. David is an expert at rearing, training, and working with these magnificent birds of prey. His dedication and patience are admirable as he works hard to establish trust between the bird and the handler. You will witness the bond between the bird and David as they work together as a happy team. You have two options to choose from: Hawk Walk or Meet & Greet. During the Hawk Walk, you will take a leisurely stroll around the beautiful North Devon countryside with one of David's Harris Hawks. You will have the opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures as they soar in and out of trees and hedgerows before they return to your gloved hand. During the Meet and greet session, you will be in an area where birds are kept. You'll have the opportunity to fly a beautiful Barn Owl and greet the Harris Hawks and Buzzards. During both experiences, you will hear the stories of the raptors, learn how to care for them, and discover that each raptor has its own unique personality. Book now for an unforgettable experience!
