About
From a flying visit for refreshments to a fully-fledged day out, with the Hawk Conservancy Trust on your itinerary you can bring visitors close to some of the world’s most incredible birds of prey!
Enjoy three daily flying displays, talks and activities running every day on the accessible, leisurely-paced timetable. There’s plenty of time between the timetabled displays to explore the Trust’s 22 acres of stunning countryside at a gentle pace, with tarmacked pathways and short distances between each flying arena. There are beautiful woodlands and wildflower meadows to soak in, as well as over 130 fascinating birds of prey to see in their aviaries. This relaxed setting and plentiful daily timetable mean the Trust can be suitable for a whole day, shorter visits, or quick stop-offs.
The on-site eatery, Feathers Restaurant, is an open and contemporary 120-seat restaurant that serves delicious breakfasts, cooked lunches, salads, sandwiches, afternoon teas and a range of hot coffees and other refreshments. Situated just off the A303, meals can be enjoyed as part of a visit to see some of the UK’s most spectacular flying displays, or simply as a stop-off for a bite to eat without having to pay to come into the visitor attraction. Pre-booking for larger groups is recommended.
NEW FOR 2026 – A varied programme of year-round extra daytime events all included in the standard admission price – from Artisan markets and art exhibitions to special nature-themed days.
