What a fabulous place. The birds are awesome. They are in a natural setting and the staff are so proactive within the sanctuary. I will be back to support the sanctuary and to see these beauties again. The place its self had seated areas and is so tranquil ❤ just listening to the birds.

The kids loved the little 6 wheeler bugs! They got a couple of mins talk about how to use them and a good 20 minutes round the track. There were obstacles, water and a tunnel and they absolutely loved it. Decent at a tenner each too.
There was a little cafe with cheap drinks and snacks (tea was £1.25 and chocolate bars were 65p). It wasn't expensive at all. Didn't visit the owl sanctuary this time.

Really cool experience definitely worth it, seeing the beautiful owls and birds was just amazing. The bird show was really interesting, great info, being up close to these beautiful owls and birds was great.
My kids loved it, and the fairy door hunt and animal picture hunt around the facility was fun.
Really nice staff who adore these owls and birds was lovely too see.

This is a lovely place to visit if you have even a passing interest in owls or birds of prey. It has a slightly run down feel to it but don't let that put you off. This is a volunteer led site that relies entirely on the money it can generate. The bird flying which takes place once a day (at 12:30 currently) is the real jewel in the crown of this place. The two presenters were extremely knowledgeable and nearly everyone in the audience who wanted to was able to interact with the birds.

This is not a zoo, this is a working sanctuary for owls and other birds of prey. They don't have lots of money, but they do have bags of passion and knowledge of their birds and they are volunteers. They need our support!

The flying display is fun and informative, and you can even have a go with provided gauntlet and advice on how to receive the bird, or if you fancy, you can have one on your head.
There is a little gift shop that has hot and cold drinks, as well as souvenirs. There are toilet facilities, and they have their own car park.

£10 admission for adults with an extra £5 for hi def camera users, which I don't mind at all as the sanctuary is non profit making, so all cash goes back to the birds and their needs. A really fun day out, I highly recommend you go and visit.

It has a great collection of different kinds of owls and hawks. The information panels provide detailed descriptions of the birds. Although the bird flying show was cancelled due to the outbreak of avian flu nationwide, the staff were very helpful to introduce the birds to us.

Brilliant place to introduce kids to the kings of the sky. The staff is friendly and very interactive. At some point, you feel sorry for the birds being in the cage, but as the staff explained later, their chances of survival are better this way. If the weather permits, the birds put up a show. The kids loved finding the doors of hidden fairy houses, it was very engaging experience overall.
