Come to the Puxton Park Falconry Centre and enjoy the thrills and excitement of the ancient art of falconry. With over 15 birds and run by a falconer with over 28 years experience, this unique opportunity allows you to view these beautiful birds of prey up close and personal in a natural environment.

The team at Puxton Park Falconry centre are passionate about promoting conservation and the history of falconry and here at the centre we not only aim to educate visitors but give them a greater insight and understanding of birds of prey.

Daily displays offer you the rare chance to see Eagles, Falcons, Hawks, and Owls as they swoop, dive and soar through the sky. Our skilled falconer will explain why the birds hunt and fly as they do, where they come from in the wild and how they are trained and you will discover first-hand what makes these magnificent creatures masters of the skies.

 

If you are as passionate about owls as we are, why not come to our very own twilight zone for a hands on experience with our owl master. The owl encounter is held in the twilight zone and runs each weekend and school holidays at 2pm for 30-45 minutes. An unmissable opportunity and excellent value at just £1 per person.

Puxton Park Falconry - Conservation through education

Birds of prey were very much protected in the middle ages and have helped man throughout the centuries although sadly, we have not always been kind to them. The farming fraternity in the 50' and 60's (with the introduction of modern agriculture and use of toxic chemicals) caused major damage to the native birds of prey, almost totally wiping out the entire population of Peregrine Falcons and other birds of prey in certain areas. At Puxton Park we are doing our utmost to reverse these trends through our dedicated conservation and education programme.

At each falconry display we warmly welcome any questions you care to ask. If you would like to talk about conservation and how you think you might be able to help, speak to one of the team who will be more than happy to help.

Here at Puxton we hope that by raising public awareness of the needs and habitats of birds of prey through centres such as ours, we can all play a part in the preservation of these fine creatures to enrich the lives of future generations.

We offer a wide range of falconry experiences at Puxton Park Falconry. These excellent and unusual gifts, can provide you with some hands on experience if you are just starting out in falconry, or can just add a bit of extra enjoyment to your day out at Puxton Park! There is something for everyone... if you want something more specific, feel free to contact us, we are happy to help.
