Vale Royal Falconry Centre

An absolutely magical experience as a gift for my husband and sons' birthday.We had an exclusive hawk and owl afternoon, with just us there. Nanette is an amazing, knowledgeable falconer who went above and beyond to ensure the voucher arrived as a surprise at our holiday destination. We learned so much from herself and Phil; the beautiful birds are so treasured and we love that it's by appointment only and not a huge, commercial concern.The environment is beautiful. A very special day out.

Absolutely brilliant experience. Well organised and lots of time with the animals. Nanette is knowledgeable and passionate about the birds of prey and her meerkat family. Thank you for a a wonderful day and making Belinda’s birthday special.

Great experience. Nanette and her husband were so knowledgable and answered all our questions. Birds were awesome.

Blessed with great weather, the 2-hr hawk and owl experience was a wonderful hands on and informative experience. To get up so close to these magnificent birds was very special indeed. Well run and highly recommend.

Really nice place this. A full two hours of everything you need to know about Falconry, birds of prey including owls.
The host was absolutely lovely. Very knowledgeable and easy to get on with. Made us feel very welcome and really gave us a fantastic hands on session with the birds.
I would highly recommend booking a session here.
If you love birds of prey and owls then you need to come here.
You'll get to meet a lot of birds of prey and loads of owls including a 32 year old Eagle owl called Denis, he's absolutely gorgeous and let's you stroke and cuddle him
What are you waiting for?

I booked a meerkat and birds of pray experience for my partners 40th birthday and I must say Nanette and her husband went above and beyond and made the day so special I honestly cannot thank them both enough!

Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a personalised happy birthday message on the black board, this little touch really made the day feel special and was a great start to a fantastic day.

Nanette is very knowledge, so learning about these magnificent animals was excellent. We felt very safe and relaxed and had a wonderful hands on time with both the meerkats and the birds of pray.

I highly recommend Vale Royal Falconry Centre to everyone, whether it is for a lesson or just a nice day out, you will not be disappointed!!

Thank you to you both for giving us such a fantastic birthday and making it feel special in these difficult times!!

I've been to other falconry centres in the past but never before have I learned so much or had such knowledgeable and engaging hosts as we had today at Vale Royal. Nanette and Phil are so passionate about their birds and full of interesting tidbits about the history of falconry and even how it has shaped our language - who knew?! A truly superb afternoon with the chance to get up close to some magnificent raptors. We'll definitely be back!
