What a lovely afternoon my daughter and I spent at the English School of Falconry all the birds were amazing and well looked after we met Levi the Chilean Blue Eagle, Turner the red kite and many more all very impressive the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, will certainly visit again. The only downside was that the cafe was nt open and I was gasping for a cup of tea.

We had the best experience here at Centre Parc, Woburn- very many thanks to the wonderful , fun and informative Shawna and her very special birds of prey. We just loved it ! A truly unforgettable experience... thank you xxxx Fiona and Simon

This place is utterly awesome. My partner and I went today and, owing to a little mix-up, discovered it was closed. However, the wonderful staff allowed us a walk around, and allowed Cat to hold some of the owls, particularly the lovely Carly!

Huge massive thanks to everyone there. We will be back in April for the 2 day course and then my partner would like to become a volunteer.

Heaven on earth for owl lovers!

Thank you so much for another wonderful experience with the owls. We had the perfect amount of time to meet and handle several owls, as well as wander around and visit the many other birds. The children enjoyed the other animals and playground equipment too. My son is particularly enamoured with Tawny Owls at the moment and appreciated that you took the time to bring Simba out especially for him. It really made his night! We’ll definitely be back again soon.

Thank you for a lovely evening with the owls. I attended with my 11 year old daughter and 13 year old son and they really enjoyed their evening. They both had a turn at handling the owls, and flying an owl too! The staff were really friendly and great with the kids, telling them all about the owls.

We hope to come again soon!

My husband and I booked a feather and fur experience. What an amazing day. Owen was fab and so knowledgeable about all the birds and such a lovely guy. Thank you to all the staff, animals and birds for a memorable day out.. Can 100% recommend this �

My great niece, an ecologist and wildlife/nature photographer did the introductory course here several years ago and said it was one of the most wonderful experiences of her life. She loves birds and aviation and took in the Shuttleworth Collection on the same day. Highly recommended.

My grandson and I have had a fabulous day there today. Lovely staff, the barrel ride went down a storm with my grandson. The bird shows were amazing. Love this place.

It is a great place to get up close and personal to birds of prey and also get some great photos

I was lucky enough to go on this experience last Saturday as much as it rained all day it was one of the best things I’ve ever done the staff were great and the birds were outstanding I’d highly recommended this for anyone who likes birds of prey

I have face painted and done some photography here and found it a lovely place to be interacting with everyone. Seymour bird is my favourite!

I attended earlier today with my mum for a 90 minute falconry experience and 90 minute animal encounter with Ria. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely be back soon. All staff were so friendly and helpful. The animals and birds were all in great condition. Such good value for the contact you get and the knowledge shared by staff.

Had my little boy’s party today and it was an incredible day! He loved it and has told me it was the best birthday party ever! All that went had a fantastic day. Highly recommend it and we can’t wait to come back!

Had a great evening shooting some of the birds of prey.

It all started with a small informal BBQ where you talk and mingle with other like minded people.

The staff were great nothing to much trouble.

I would recommend this to every one.

Great morning spent with the Owls and Eagles Experience. We were taken round by Ollie who fantasticly knowledgeable and explained all about the different birds really well. It clear to see that he has a real passion for falconry and the birds. We had an amazing time and will definitely return again.

Great day out Hawking today, getting to see the birds doing their thing out in a natural environment. Didn't catch anything but that didn't detract from the day at all.



Kyle was awesome with knowledge of all the birds, breeds and personalities and an obvious passion that came across well.



I'd highly recommend any of the activity days here based on today.

Great afternoon with the birds and spectacular bird flying display highly recommend this place

Afternoon tea with the owls.... Brilliant couple of hours. Absolutely loved the flying and the handling of these beautiful birds. The handlers were very welcoming, taking their time with us all to ensure that nobody missed out on anything during the experience and sharing their knowledge and expertise with us . Had I not gone alone I would have gone earlier in the day and spent more time mooching around in the grounds and enjoying the atmosphere.

Thnk you also to the team who prepared our refreshments after. They made sure that everyone had everything they wanted and if there was too much cake they wrapped it up to be taken home.

Absolutely fab day and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

My partner and I very much enjoyed our American Raptors experience yesterday. Charlie is a wonderful ambassador for the Birds and she made sure that we were all well looked after. The three hour experience was not hurried at all and everyone had the opportunity to handle and fly the birds. The highlight of the day for us was flying a somewhat excited American Bald Eagle and this brought our experience to an end on a high note!



The tea room is nice, although unfortunately the toilets are very unpleasant, so I hope that this is something that will be improved before our next visit.
