HOOTENANNY OWLS FALCONRY CENTRE
Our resident Falconry centre, Hootenanny Owls, owned by Donna and Billy Pickett, is located in a purpose-built enclosure opposite the fort. You’ll often find them and their staff wandering the estate, owl in hand!
They offer a wide variety of specialised experiences, such as walks, photography sessions, parties and even a six-week falconer course. Their enclosure houses a wonderful variety of avian species, with exceptional deals on handling for the kids. https://www.facebook.com/HootenannyOwls/
