Members, come along and spend a day working with us to make sure we are in tiptop condition ahead of reopening to the public. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know our team, and your fellow members, a whole lot better. It’s a great way to get outdoors, getting hands-on for some leaf-raking and sweeping with our team.
Join us for a free evening of drinks and canapes to celebrate the first anniversary of the Hawk Conservancy Trust’s partnership with official Artist in Residence, Alex McGarry! Come along and meet Alex for yourself. You’ll be able to see a variety of her art on exhibition, plus enter the raffle on the evening and be in with a chance to win an exclusive, one of a kind, sketch!
Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 December
The Hawk Conservancy Trust will be flying their awesome owls under moonlight at this magical time of year, with a few festive features to get you in the Christmas spirit! Watch these mystical birds twist and turn through the night sky, and make sure you duck as they skim silently over the top of your head.
Sunday 15 – Tuesday 17 December
Sing along with Christmas carols, both traditional and modern, under the night sky accompanied by live music. We’ll also invite you into the magical world of our owls during the evening as you witness our beautiful birds twist and turn in the moonlight and skim silently over the top of your head.
Saturday 21 – Sunday 22 December
Father Christmas and his magical team of owls will be stopping at the Trust for this special family event. Join the mischievous Evergreen the Elf to get Christmas back on track and Father Christmas’ sleigh back in flight!
Friday 17 January – Sunday 2 February 2025
Start 2025 with a sparkle at Winter Woodland Lights, a mesmerising display of lights, music and, of course, our beautiful owls in flight.
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of seeing owls fly through the darkness, or experiencing a spectacular sunset with birds in flight. Gift these magical memories to your loved ones with an evening out like no other with our Evening Event Gift Voucher!
They will have the opportunity to choose from a selection of our evening events running throughout the year – from mystical owl flights by moonlight to soaring birds against a sunset sky.
