Had a great time at Herrings Green Farm Falconry Experience. The session lasted around three hours and was packed with opportunities to see some truly magnificent birds; owls, falcons, and eagles. We got to handle a few of the birds ourselves, which was easily one of the highlights. There were so many different birds to see, and the experience was very informative too. Learnt a lot about the species, their habits, training, and flying techniques. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy wildlife or want something a bit different. We’ll probably go back again for another experience, maybe the eagle-focused one next time.

Took the grandchildren here, 6 and 3 they loved it. Watched both shows where they fly the birds. Had a ride on the tractor and spent some time with the farm animals. Great full day out. Even had lunch in the cafe.

What an absolute Amazing day from start to finish. Reilly our guide was exceptional he was so knowledgeable and respectful of all the birds whilst doing their displays or getting up close and personal. He took time so that all of our group which was 30 people could handle each of the 3 birds, he answered all questions fired at him with ease and he made sure to we all had a great time 🙌 Well done Herrings Farm. Would highly recommend and, we will definitely be a returning customer 👏🏻😁

Visted today for the all day birds of prey experience, was the 1st time I ever tried anything like this and had an amazing time. The experience was for 6hrs with an hour lunch. Was amazing value considering other venues charge the same price for just an hour or two. The staff were super friendly. The gentleman who looked after me was really knowledgeable I didn't know much about birds before the day and I learnt absolutely loads of facts and information. Got to fly 10 birds and loads more on the hand. Absolutely amazing experience many thanks for the lovely day. Highly recommend.
