Half-day Owl Flying Experience

Testimonials from previous customers.
Barn Owl
Barn Owl by Keith Wooster
Owls have always been one of the most popular and well loved of all the birds of prey species, and this course allows guests the opportunity to get close to and fly some of these beautiful creatures.

Your experience session

You will be met at the entrance to the Trust for the start of your experience session, at 10.00am (9.30 am between November and February winter season). After a brief introduction to your fellow guests and a run through of the course itinerary, your experience session will begin.

There will be the opportunity to fly several species of owl from both Britain and around the world during your session, as well as a short guided tour around some of our aviary based species to talk about the conservation work carried out by the Trust.

Tawny Owl
Tawny Owl by Martin Dyer
During a break for tea/coffee you will be joined by one of the Trust’s Barn Owls, and have the opportunity to view this stunning bird at close quarters. There will also be the chance to view our Birds of Prey Hospital, through CCTV cameras, and see some of the rehabilitation work being carried out there.

This is not an intensive course, but a taster session to learn more about owls and the work of the Trust, and is set at the pace of the guests on the day.

These sessions run from 10.00am – 1.00pm only on selected dates of every month throughout the year.

*Please note that these experience sessions are very popular and generally get booked for two months in advance – especially during weekends and school holidays. Please book early to avoid disappointment*

The Owl Experience is currently priced at £67.50 per person. These experience sessions can be booked for a particular day, or can be given as a Gift Voucher, making an ideal Christmas or birthday gift. Purchase vouchers from our online Ticket Shop.
