A Hawk on the Wild Side – November 8th & 28th 10.00-4.00

Pull on your wellies and take a walk on the wild side this Autumn

Fancy getting out of the house and doing something a little different?

Wrap up warm, pull on your wellies and join us for a proper autumn day out in the Bedfordshire countryside—with some rather extraordinary company.

A Hawk on the Wild Side is a chance to leave the everyday behind, get outdoors and spend the day walking, flying and getting wonderfully close to some of our magnificent birds of prey.

We’ll start at 10.00am with a warming tea or coffee and a relaxed welcome from our falconers. You’ll meet the hawks who’ll be joining you for the day and learn how to handle, feed and fly them.

Then it’s time to head outside. With glove on and wellies firmly planted, we’ll set off across the fields and through the autumn countryside, with the hawks following us from tree to tree and hedgerow to hedgerow.

There’s something quite magical about watching a hawk flying freely through the countryside—and even more so when it comes sweeping back across the field to land on your gloved hand.

By lunchtime, you’ll be ready for something warming. At 1.00pm, we’ll head back inside for a hearty beef stew with crusty bread, before getting ready for an afternoon with even more of our birds.

You’ll discover a little about the ancient art of falconry, have a go at tying the traditional falconer’s knot and meet, handle and fly a variety of our owls and eagles.

No previous experience is needed. This is simply a chance to get outdoors, try something new and enjoy a unique day in the countryside.

So, if the usual weekend plans aren’t quite cutting it, come and do something different.
