BIRD OF PREY EXPERIENCES / TALKS / FLYING DISPLAYS

Due to the government restrictions still in place, we are unable to provide experiences, talks or displays either at the sanctuary or at alternative venues. A small selection of our birds will be flown sporadically throughout each day, but due to the required social distancing, there will be no set times or format. The birds will be flying for their own exercise but of course you are welcome to chat to keepers.

if you have a voucher for a bird of prey experience, these have been automatically extended. your vouchers are now valid for 12 months from when we are able to start experiences again. we do not currently know when this will be, but it will rely on social distancing no longer being required.

March 15th 2020.
Due to the onging refurbishment of the old reptile area and replacing the buildings lost in the 2019 fire, 4 of our reptiles and our wild / Savannah cats are currently not on view. Your understanding is appreciated.

Our centre is very wheelchair friendly, having smooth paths around the enclosures and ramp access to the reptile area. A small section of our nature walkway may be unsuitable for some wheelchairs.

Our current opening times 11am - 3:30pm last admission (sanctuary closes at 4:00). Sanctuary is closed Tuesdays and 24th December - 10th January We are also closed on Easter Sunday.
