Come and see the owls flying at night in our specially illuminated flying ground. It is a scintillating and unforgettable experience!
As well as the indoor and outdoor flying demonstration the evening includes an expert commentary and guided tour of owls from four continents, as well as hot mulled wine and a hog roast.

When you sponsor a bird, you are making a very significant contribution to its health and welfare for a year.
When you choose a bird you will be the only sponsor; it will become ‘your bird’ for the year and that makes it very special.
The larger the bird the more expensive it is to feed each year. This is reflected in the sponsorship cost
