Cotswold Falconry invites you to a spectacular demonstration with a large variety of birds of prey flying free. This gives a remarkable insight into the ancient art of falconry. It's an unforgettable experience to see falcons stoop and hawks, eagles and owls flying majestically around you. The display demonstrates this deeply historical practice and keeps alive this wonderful tradition.

There are many breeding aviaries to see including the Owls in the Parliament Building. Visitors are encouraged to think positively about these birds and their conservation.

The centre runs a range of training courses to suit most ages and interests. Whether you are a beginner, feel you may wish to take up the practice, want a day in the field with an experienced falconer or just have some fun. The courses are extremely popular so please telephone for availability.
