Join us on the farm to celebrate World Falconry Day!

On Saturday 16th November 2024, join us at midday and again at 1.30pm to meet our birds of prey, learn about the brief history of falconry, discover what it's like to fit a 'jess' and try your hand at lure swinging with bottles.

Visitors will also be able to meet our reindeer, learn all about their lives here on the farm and feed them a tasty treat. Reindeer food will be available to buy from the main entrance, priced at £2 per bag.

The farm park and woodlands will be open daily from 10am to 5pm:

Meet our smaller animals in the Animal Chat Room.
Say hello to our bigger animals out in the paddocks.

Follow The World of Dinosaur Roar! Discovery Trail in our woodlands.
