Falconry Displays & Experiences

Experience the thrill of watching birds of prey right here on the farm! 

Hawks & Squawks is our falconry centre. Weather permitting, visitors can enjoy exciting flying demonstrations and hands-on experiences with our magnificent birds of prey. 

  • Falconry displays. Watch our expert falconers in action (included in your admission).
  • Extra holiday shows. Catch an additional display during school holidays.

We do everything we can to ensure activities are available as advertised but it is not always possible. To avoid disappointment, please phone ahead to see what is available on the day you plan to visit: 01509 852525.  

Find us at Manor Farm Park & Woodlands in East Leake (LE12 6LU), which is easily accessible from Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and Derbyshire.

Visitors to the farm are welcome to look around the aviaries seven days a week from 10am to 5pm.

  • Athea, a Golden Eagle. 
  • Buzz, a Harris Hawk.
  • CeCe, a Kestrel. 
  • Griffin, a male American Kestrel.
  • Hades, a hybrid bird.
  • Luna, a female Barn Owl.
  • Mr Ollivander, a Lugger. 
  • Oberon, a Striated Caracara. 
  • Reggie, a male Bengal Eagle Owl.
  • Romeo, a male Black Kite.
  • Roo, a female Harris Hawk.

Daily Flying Demonstrations

Join us at our Birds of Prey Theatre as one of our birds of prey showcases their talents. Learn some fun facts about these impressive birds and take a seat as a bird of prey flies over your head. 

For safety reasons, once the show has started, we ask you not to leave your seat. Please also be aware that our birds are fed on chicks produced especially for birds of prey, which some visitors may not wish to see. 

All displays and experiences are weather permitting. In the event of poor weather, we will usually offer an undercover meet and greet opportunity in the falconry mews, opposite the flying field.
