Where to begin? From start to finish this experience was absolutely incredible.
I originally phoned up as I had left it quite late to do the "mini experience" and I wanted a slot in 2 days. Mel (the lady who helped me get a booking) was very accommodating and kept me up to date doing her best to find me a slot which I was very grateful for.
Now, there is nothing "mini" about this experience...
We drove down into this beautiful area over looking the countryside and parked up. We were greeted by two very friendly, rather large Rhea's and a magnitude of peacocks.
The walk part of the experience was absolutely wonderful. We had the pleasure of taking Bella the falcon out for a walk down a country lane. Watching a bird of prey fly from up close is breathtaking. On top of this we were able to feed the beautiful bel and handle her whilst we walked.
When I thought that the experience was over, I was mistaken. Anna took us on a tour of all the birds at the centre. Whilst touring around the enclosures she gave us lots of information and let us get up close and personal with some rather beautiful, bizarre and intriguing birds. Something I thought we wouldn't be able to do! Anna even introduced us to some very cute little hatchlings that were just finding their wings.
Throughout this experience Anna was funny, upbeat, informative and all round fantastic. She really helped make an already 10* experience even better!
Both myself and my fiance have not spoken highly enough of this experience since going and we've recommended it to everyone! It really was something we wont forget. I'll be returning for the hunting experience this summer.
Thank you to Kingsley Bird & Falconry Centre!!

It was amazing to see such a wide array of owls, hawks, and falcons up-close and hear about their care, personality, and breeding from someone who knows so much about them. You could tell how much care he had for each of the birds. Learning how to hold a hawk and call her was unbelievable. It was a once in a lifetime experience, and I highly recommend Kingsley Falconry if you want to learn more about these amazing birds.

ABSOLUTELY loved my time here. I came on the hottest day of the year, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was hot,the birds were hot, Laura (my guide) was hot - but it was one of the best experiences I've yet to partake in. So much so that I would like to continue in Falconry Training.
Laura was so knowledgeable and took the time to answer my questions. She was so informative, and just wanted me to have the best time. I was allowed to feed the birds, go into their enclosures, hold a few, fly Bella (the picture shows Bella and I after a flying session)!
Laura was a great guide - couldn't recommend her enough. Gareth was also about and got involved and shared his immense knowledge and expertise. Both are so down-to-earth, love the birds dearly, and want you as a client to get stuck in!!
I went for the half day experience, and my god, Laura crammed so much in and I am so grateful. I am so thankful for this INCREDIBLE experience. Highly recommend, without a doubt.
Mel was fantastic at booking me in, and so quick and prompt at replying to my emails. It was a breeze to sort everything out.
Thank you all!!

A fantastic session with a variety of birds where we helped feed them, plenty of facts of knowledge on the guided tour, and flying Bella at the end was brilliant.
Really great day. Highly recommended.

Falconry is open and gives a very intimate and unique experience that include watching feeding of the huge collection of birds of prey on a one to one basis and enjoying some flights to your gloved hand. This will blow you away, the birds are magnificent. Very experienced owner always on hand to guide you through this truly amazing experience. Dont miss this, highly recommended.
