Had a great couple of hours at S & D Falconry, very friendly, funny and Know their stuff. The birds are just stunning and even better when they are close up sitting on your hand.

Definitely recommend. They are both very knowledgeable and good fun to listen to. The birds are amazing and I liked the owls the best!

Tips:Bring a decent camera. A modern camera phone with good video quality and multi-shot mode for photos will give you stunning pictures of the birds in mid flight.Parking is available on site. Warm beverages are available for a small charge. Warm clothing is advisable - it can get chilly.Such an amazing experience. From the cute little tawny owl to the big and powerful harris hawk.The owls in flight are so graceful. Not only do you get to handle the birds, but you get the owls flown to you too!Steve, Debbie and Emma are really knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming.I can't say much more apart from just go and meet these stunning birds and watch them in action.

My son and I had a great morning out. Friendly and knowledgable staff introduced us to the birds and were full of information and anecdotes. They helped and supported even the more nervous so everyone got to fully appreciate the magnificence of these lovely creatures. The location had plenty of parking and is close to the M40 so is easily accessible. Having the birds fly to your (well protected) hand and getting up close with a peregrine falcon were highlights for me, and my son loved the owls. We had a beautiful sunny day, but probably worth checking beforehand if the weather is not so pleasant. Highly recommended for anyone interested in birds of prey.

We visited this site with our children and they were delighted to participate in a falconry class. The setting was lovely, the instructor was patient and witty, and everything about our visit was memorable in a very good way.This is among my favorite memories of visits to Stratford-upon-Avon. Highly recommended for families, or anyone who's dreamed of handling falcons and birds of prey.

Sat nav information is accurate. Steve and Debbie are very welcoming and accommodating. They are also informative and knowledgeable. Lots of parking space. We had a wonderful time, fabulous to see the birds up close. We were able to see the birds fly to us, land on our gloved hand and take some food. (Veggies might not like this but it is the natural order of things!) There were owls as well as falcons. I think this is definitely an experience I would recommend for all ages. We were there on our second attempt as it is weather permitting, booking is very easy on the website.

Was given as a present as into both falconry and photography. Due to having limited spare time I am unable to take up falconry properly as a hobby so like to have some interaction with the birds when I get chance. The staff were all really accommodating the whole time I was there making sure that when I wasn't handling the birds I was able to take photos. Managed to get plenty of time handling a variety of birds and really enjoyed it. Big 5 out of 5 and will most definitely be returning as am already looking into the walking with owls activity

Had a brilliant two hour experience with wonderful birds. The hosts were very informative and have a great sense of humour. I learnt a lot about these birds and will be returning one day. Great location, great hosts and great birds! Richard

Came and did this experience today, my husband and i thought it was amazing, the care and attention to the birds of prey is very apparent, Educational for children and adults alike, Steve and Debbie are very friendly and the whole experience was fun, entertaining, factual and very hands on, not only did we experience holding a number of birds we also enjoyed having food on our gloves and watching these amazing birds swoop for the food and mimic their wild,For me what impressed me the most is their birds are treated as part of the family and have been hand reared which is apparent in the handling and the birds interaction with the public.

Recently took part in a 2 hour falconry experience and had a great time.+ Steve & Debbie were fantastic hosts, they know their stuff but most importantly they carry it with humor and interest that it makes it very entertaining.+ The birds - we got to handle a barn owl, a great horned owl, a harris hawk, a peregrine falcon hybrid and a tawny owl. Each bird magnificent in their own way and very relaxed when perched.+ The grounds - beautiful Warwickshire countryside with well kept grounds and plenty of parking space.Overall, a great experience which is ideal for doing something out of the ordinary or getting as a gift for someone.

I've always been fascinated by birds of prey and when the Groupon voucher came along I couldn't resist. The two hours we spent at the centre exceeded all my expectations. We got to handle the birds; barn owls, kestrel, and falcons and It was wonderful to see the birds so closely, to learn so much about them and to witness how well they were cared for and how much their owners loved and respected them. A previous comment posted a criticism that it cost £10 for a companion to take photos. Apart from actually handling the birds they take part in the whole experience; I would class that as good value for money! Thank you S and D Falconry - a fab experience!
