What do our customers say?
Dear Andrew, Duncan and Charlotte,
What a fantastic time you gave us yesterday! Thank you so much. Not only was it a delight seeing your amazing birds close up and in action, but it was also so interesting and informative. Clive and Ruth thoroughly enjoyed it, as did Nigel and I, but the icing on the cake was seeing Dad so relaxed and happy. He clearly had a marvellous time and we so appreciated the time and attention you devoted to him to maximise his afternoon’s falconry experience.
We have some superb photos and plan to choose the best and frame it for Dad’s 90th birthday present. I think this highlights how grateful we are for the time with you, and how much Dad benefitted.
Many thanks again, you all do a wonderful job, and your birds are truly awe inspiring.

We booked a private session for my mother’s 85th birthday and it was the most amazing experience. Andrew and Charlotte could not have been more attentive, they tailored the session to my parent’s abilities and were so caring, thoughtful and attentive. They are also extremely knowledgeable explaining so much about the birds. A fabulous afternoon not to be forgotten.

Barn Owl Hollow
We have a fantastic venue at Market Harborough in South Leicestershire. Here we house our 25+ birds as we have been based here for here for 18 years. This is a quiet private location in the countryside where we host our Falconry experiences. We often get dramitic sky with the hill sky looking black and our field bathed in sunshine.
This is just off of the A6 with great road links to M1, M6 and A14. It is also a a 13 minute drive (or taxi) from Market Harborough Train Station.
Alders Farm
We also have a venue near Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard. This sits in a superb little valley with some beautiful lakes and woodland and is adjacent to Stockgrove Country Park on the edge of the Chilterns This is where we hold Meet The Birds, Meet The Owls and Private sessions. These are fantastic half day experiences to get up close to our birds of prey and nature.
By train from London, Alders Farm is 30 minutes train and a 15 minute uber via Milton Keynes station. Being so well located it is only 90 minutes by car from central London.
