Years ago myself and my now wife went here on a date, and over the years we've visited with our daughter. A few months ago we hired the stables for our wedding reception, everything was amazing and faultless from start to finish, from the initial booking to setting up the day before and pack down the day after, the team were fantastic. This place holds a very special place in our hearts and we will of course be back. I cannot recommend the english school of falconry and the stables enough for a weekend visit, an event or special occasion.

We had the most enjoyable afternoon where we booked our alpacas experience with Lisa who is so knowledgable and accommodating as well as watching the birds of prey flight display which again the staff were so friendly and helpful. We thank Emma for booking our afternoon.

A great day out for anyone with an interest in birds. The flying displays are spectacular & the staff extremely knowledgeable. A very reasonably priced tea shop provides a good selection of snacks & beverages.

We had the most amazing 3hr experience holding beautiful owls and fearsome eagles and hawks then flying them and feeding them. The girls were super knowledgeable, all the birds were well looked after and we enjoyed every bit of it.
