Falconry in Kent at the lovely Eastwell Manor near Ashford! Meet the wonderful birds of prey in the heart of the Kentish Downs on these superb experiences.
The team at Eastwell is passionate about their work with birds of prey. These dedicated falconers are super knowledgeable and they live and breathe the art of husbandry. Caring, rearing, training and working with birds of prey is definitely a lifestyle and not just a job.
We've got a really good range of falconry experiences on offer for you at Eastwell Manor. They all give you the chance to get close to these magnificent birds. Each session is very much hands-on and you'll meet and fly a variety of bird species during your visit.
The classic half and full-day sessions and the 'Big Four' experience at this Kent venue all start with a VIP tour of the birds, as well as meeting your falconry host and enjoying a welcome coffee. Then it's time to get your glove on, head out across the estate and start working with the birds.
And believe us, the first time one of these incredible creatures swoops in to land on your gloved hand, it's an amazing moment. From then on, you'll fly lots of different birds, from the tiny owls and the fast falcons, to the graceful hawks.
If you're on the 'Big Four' session, you'll be flying the biggest birds, concentrating on the larger species of birds of prey. This Kent centre has an impressive collection of vultures. Then there are those regal eagles, who are actually ferocious hunters in the wild.
Half-day, full-day or the Big Four, these are all great falconry experiences in Kent. Group sizes are kept nice and small so you can see what's going on and experiences are suitable for ages 12 years and up. We think you'll love meeting the birds and love the setting too.
