Bought a voucher for Falconry UK - so it was a very cheap day out for me and my daughter. Arrived just after opening and had a look round prior to watching the first display of the day. It's a lovely place with lots of birds in very clean, well designed cages - everything was immaculate, nice area for picnics... More

Having ploughed the Internet for a suitable Falconry Centre to buy my husbands birthday present (a falconry experience day) I was lucky enough to find Falconry UK Thirsk and I must say we wasn't disappointed. I booked a full day experience for him and a spectator day for myself. Our day started at 10.30 with complementary tea or coffee, then... More

Really lovely day out! My 3 year old really enjoyed it too and got to hold 3 different birds. Picnic area is lovely and right next to the avairys and the staff were really nice and happy to chat. Will visit again.

We (mum, dad, 2 and 4 year old boys) fancied doing something a little different and this gave us the perfect opportunity. We drove from Leeds within the hour (lovely drive) to the beautiful surroundings of Sion Hill.The place is very well presented and maintained and very rural. The bird show was excellent. We stayed for the first show of... More

I bought an owl experience for my girl friend christmas present. The staff were very friendly, knowledgable and interesting. We were first given a guided tour of all the owls, then shown how they train and fly the owls. We then watched the demonstration which was really good as the staff got the birds to land on the benches next... More

Me and my girlfriend visited here on a Saturday and had a fantastic time. It wasnt too busy so there was plenty of room in the arena. We arrived just before the first show so had time to walk around and see the birds on display before the talk. The talk was very informative and we got to see a... More
