Falconry Taster Experience in Cheshire

This falconry experience gives guests a fascinating introduction to one of the world’s oldest and most captivating country pursuits.

Falconry has a long and remarkable history, originally used as a way of hunting for food before becoming closely associated with medieval life, grand occasions, pageants, weddings and tournaments. Today, the chance to see these magnificent birds of prey up close still feels every bit as special. There is something properly unforgettable about standing eye to eye with a hawk, falcon or owl and seeing the extraordinary relationship between bird and falconer in action.

On arrival, guests will be welcomed by an experienced falconer before learning more about the history, traditions and different disciplines of falconry. They will also be introduced to the care, welfare and husbandry of the birds, along with the specialist equipment used in this ancient art.

The highlight of the experience is the chance to fly two birds “to the fist”, feeling the power, precision and beauty of a bird of prey landing on their gloved arm. Guided throughout by the falconer, guests will be right in the thick of it, learning about the raptor world while enjoying a memorable hands-on encounter.

Programmes and birds vary depending on location, so guests should check the details when booking.
