During this private hour long experience, you will have the opportunity to meet a variety of different Birds of Prey, where you can take photos and hopefully learn a little bit about each of the birds. Under the guidance of one of our falconers, you will also experience the majesty of flying a bird to your gloved hand. This experience ends in time for you to watch our bird demonstration for the general public, after which you are welcome to explore the Cotswold Falconry and see over 60 different bird species. We advise wearing appropriate outdoor footwear.

This magical experience will transport you to the Northern Forests where some of the most amazingly evolved avian predators can be found. You’ll see them close, both in flight and landing nearby. You should also have the chance of at least one landing on your gloved hand.

The Winter Owl Forest is very cold! Do dress appropriately (it will be very cold!) Our Winter Owl Forest takes place entirely indoors. The experience itself will not be affected by the weather. However, we do understand seasonal weather may make transport here difficult. If snow and ice are predicted to make it unsafe for visitors + staff to get here dates maybe postponed or cancelled.

This special event takes place when the Centre is closed to visitors so there will be no displays taking place or access to view the aviary birds.

Our doors will open 15mins beforehand, if you do arrive at Batsford early the Garden Centre Café does a lovely coffee and cake! A private group booking can potentially be made depending on availability
