What Can I Expect

Falconry in Shrewsbury is all about happy birds, thrilled visitors and passionate hosts! We have a range of experiences for you at this centre which is never open to the public. This is falconry at its most relaxed and friendly.

The team here in Shrewsbury invites you to join a hawk walk, take part in a raptor or owl experience or fully immerse yourself in the life of a falconer on the half day course. Whichever you choose, there'll be a warm welcome from the humans and birds alike and plenty of time to take photos, ask all the questions you've ever wanted to and fly the birds too.

Of course, the falconers and their birds do shows, school visits and weddings in Shrewsbury, Shropshire and beyond, but it's the everyday tasks falconers do back at the centre that are truly fascinating. And that's what you get an insight of on these experiences.

If you like the idea of taking a countryside stroll, the hawk walk is a great choice. Pottering through the woods and fields, there's about 600 acres of Shrewsbury countryside to explore. The gregarious Hawk loves nothing better than a bit of company, so they will follow you, sporadically flying right down to your gloved hand as you go. Simply wonderful.

And then there are the owl experiences. The likes of Scoobie and Freckle are just two of the gorgeous, most ridiculously photogenic owls you could ever meet and on these sessions you will indeed have plenty of time to take pictures and fly some owls too, with both indoor and outdoor arena available.

If you fancy finding out more about breeding, rearing, caring for and training the lovable raptor residents here in Shrewsbury, as well as enjoying lots of flying, the half day course is definitely for you.

So whether it's a hawk walk, a raptor or owl experience or the half day falconer experience you know the birds and hosts will give you the very best introduction to the world of falconry in Shrewsbury, with lots of handling and flying time included for every participant.
