| Oct 2007 | This winter the Hawk Conservancy Trust will be opening its doors to visitors at weekends throughout the winter season (November to February). There will be something to do to keep the whole family amused on a winter's day out. In the morning meet Clive in the study centre to have a go a wide range of hands on activities including: owl pellet dissection, bird of prey identification sessions and fun family quizzes. Learn about the conservation and rehabilitation work of the Trust, and how you can help us. There will be three exciting flying displays each day, and the chance for all visitors to hold a bird and adults to experience the thrill of flying a hawk. Let the children explore our new children's bird hides, and use the binoculars to look for wild raptors. Need warming up? Don't forget to visit Duffy's for a wide range of hearty hot meals, including Roast lunch on Sundays, and lots of hot drinks, cakes and pastries. A visit to the Trust shop will give you a wide range of gift ideas for Christmas, and don't forget to take advantage of our gift wrapping service. As a special offer if you spend over £50 on Christmas Gifts in a single transaction at the shop between 1st November and 24th December 2007 you will receive a gift from us of a family admission ticket, worth £28.50 (ticket valid for 6 months).
