Why not treat someone to a gift to remember this year?
Our One Hour and All Day lessons are a unique experience for you, or someone close to you, to enjoy the chance to get up close with our Birds Of Prey, it's a memory that will stay with you for a very long time.

Please note that Bird of prey experiences are not available from the end of October until Easter each year. Hawking experiences are available for this period however. There is no valid date on our vouchers, they do not expire so you can choose to enjoy your gift at your leisure.

For 2008 only no experiences can be booked from 10th July until 2nd August.

 

ALL DAY LESSON: (£100)
The day begins at 11.00am with a brief tour of the centre and an introduction to the equipment used in falconry, the remainder of the day is spent handling and flying the birds, ending around 3.30pm Lunch is included in the voucher and is taken at the
tearooms in the adjacent garden centre. You may bring a guest along to take photographs or video if you wish to do so.

The courses are run on a ‘one to one’ basis. You will be required to call the centre to
arrange a time with a falconer on a date convenient to you and the centre.
The format of the lesson is subject to change at the discretion of the falconer and may be re-scheduled subject to the weather as naturally we cannot fly our birds during inclement weather as it is not good for them.

Please Note: Any additional guests you may choose to bring will be charged for entry into the centre.

You can pay for your lesson by cheque, made out to Gentleshaw B.O.P. Hospital,
and sent to the address on our contacts page, or you can book your lesson in person when visiting the centre, simply ask a member of staff.
