The Hawking Centre

We had a very enjoyable VIP half day experience at The Hawking Centre. Reece was a fantastic host. We learnt a lot about raptors, the birds were really great and easy to handle and it was a very different experience on any thing we done before. We would highly recommend the experience.

Absolutely brilliant experience Ryan couldn't have been more accommodating absolute legend and a credit to the Hawking Centre. Also a special shoutout to Zoe who went out of her way to make sure we could book when it was convenient. Highly recommended! as is the afternoon tea at the Hotel itself.

Amazing morning spent at the Hawking Centre today. VIP experience just my daughter and I. We got to meet all the birds and fly owls, a bald eagle and a vulture. Highly recommend

What can I say? Driving up the long drive way you're welcomed by the beautiful Eastwell Manor. We were greeted by our head Falconer Ryan who then took us through the gardens to The Hawking Centre. Ryan was welcoming, knowledgeable and took his time with two very nervous teenagers! He introduced us to every single one if the birds, his little insights to their personalities made it very clear that this was a man who knew his stuff, loved what he does and this is more than a job. His passion radiated. We were In a small group of 6 and we each took it in turns to fly 6 different birds of prey throughout the day. Every single bird had their own personality and my youngest fell in love with Arthur!
At lunch we were taken up to the Manor where we enjoyed Wagyu burgers and fries, delicious!
We have not stopped smiling since! This is one of the best days out I've ever had and looking forward to returning!
Thank you Ryan from you fellow South East londoners, The Doyle's!

I had a half day falconer experience booked which was a gift for my husbands birthday. We both had a fantastic time in our group. I was a spectator only but it was still amazing! Reece was our expert and he was so warm, funny and knowledgeable about birds of prey.
My husband was able to fly 2 owls, one falcon, a vulture and in the end even hold a bald headed eagle! The grounds, where the flying experience is set, are beautiful and quiet.
Everyone in our group asked loads of questions and got in depth replies from Reece. It was beautiful to get to know birds of prey more and see them in flight.
I would highly recommend this half day experience! Worth every penny and it made a wonderful surprise birthday gift for my husband.
Thank you Reece for a very special day at your falconry <3

My son Joseph and I just had the most brilliant day at the Hawking Centre. Reece was an extremely knowledgable guide to these wonderful, beautiful birds. We both got to fly five different, fascinating species in our half day, with Reece giving us loads of info about each. The location is stunning too. Highly recommend with family or friends if in the area. A real treat

One of the best experiences we ever did. We did the full day which is quite long but well worth it. Reece was great, really knowledgable. The birds are amazing, they have so much character. Highly recommend!

Ryan and the rest of the team are fantastic!

We attended the Hawking Centre for a birds of prey experience a couple of years ago, and because we had such a brilliant day, we booked them for our wedding.

Ryan greeted our guests with an eagle after the ceremony, and during the arrival drinks he entertained everyone with a "meet and greet" and flying display. Our guests were able to hold the eagle as well as 3 other birds. We received such positive feedback from everyone.

Nothing was too much of an issue. They were so accommodating, friendly and passionate. We cannot recommend them enough!
