Junior Falconry Experience

A 90 minute experience getting close up and flying owls and birds of prey – for under 16s
Young people’s interest in wildlife, or even in Harry Potter, just grows and grows.
Now, your young enthusiast has the opportunity to get close to these wonderful creatures and to learn how to hold them safely on the hand (with a glove on, obviously!)

Our adult Falconry and Owl sessions have a great following here in the Gardens and now Mercer Falconry can offer small groups their own hands-on experience during the school holidays.

With just 12 child places per 90 minute session, each child get an opportunity to learn about the birds, see them fly and get a chance to fly a small owl or falcon.

These sessions are suitable for almost any age, but we suggest at least 5 years or over. (NB The 90 minute sessions do have a break, but it is still the length of two school lessons!)

Each child ticket includes a place for ONE accompanying adult.
Children must be accompanied

You can buy one additional adult ticket(maximum 2 adults per child) – click on Add Ons, after you have bought your main ticket.

Main ticket: Child (with adult) £18

Extra adult : £8

All tickets give you access to the Gardens for the whole day, so take your opportunity to explore the Gardens and have a picnic…

NB you can reserve a kids lunch box or cream tea in a box with you ticket too.
