NEW FOR 2025

Step into a world where nature and legend take flight. Feathers & Folklore is a truly unique 90 minute experience that invites you to fly three of the most iconic and mysterious birds in British and global folklore: the silent and striking Snowy Owl, the graceful and agile Red Kite, and the intelligent and charismatic Raven. 

Led by our expert team, you'll experience the thrill of flying these incredible birds yourself. From Celtic tales to Norse legends and modern conservation triumphs, this is more than a bird of prey encounter - it's a journey through time, culture and the skies.

This experience is only available by advanced booking.
