On selected dates during August.
Our falconry days are back this summer by popular demand, courtesy of Toby Puddle of South Wilts Falconry. Come along to The Park and see a fantastic collection of owls, hawks and falcons, and witness the mystical and almost silent flight of the owls, the agility of the hawks, and the sheer speed of the falcons. Toby has been a practicing falconer for over 19 years. Having worked in a variety of falconry positions here in the UK, Toby holds an exemplary CV and has had the privilege in working with and alongside some of the country’s most respected faces within the sport.
Falconry is the art of flying trained hawks at wild quarry in their natural environment. It is an old and very spectacular sport requiring commitment, patience and absolute dedication. Toby is always happy to talk to visitors about the sport of falconry, the hawks and falcons, conservation, hawk welfare and most importantly how success is gained in the field.
