New for 2011

Hawk & Arrows

Fancy being a Falconer for a day, or even an Archer? Why not both!! This day is designed to take you back in time to the days of Knights and Ladies of the court.
In the morning you will have the chance to handle and fly Hawks, Owls, Buzzards and Falcons. Then join one of our “Hawk Walks” in the beautiful countryside around Abergavenny. After a break for coffee, you will then learn the basics of using a recurve bow in order to get you ready for a little Archery Competition. Anyone can do it, it’s easy!
Of course there will be a prize for the highest scoring Lady, Gentleman and child on the day.

Price: £ 70.00 only per person for this unusual mediaeval experience.

Variations of this day can be offered for groups and Corporate Entertainment Days.

Kite Safaris

During the summer months we will be offering a unique experience for those who would like to see Red Kites in their natural habitat 
                         …the Hills of Wales..

You will be driven in a 4X4 vehicle to one of the beautiful hilltops of the Black Mountains, where you will witness, at close quarters, the awesome flying and aerobatics of our Kites, using the thermals and updrafts of the hills to demonstrate their wonderful powers of flight.
We want everyone to have the chance to film and photograph the Kites, and also be able to offer them food from their hands, which the Kites will casually eat “on the wing”.
These days would make a “present with a difference” for a loved one, or even a husband or wife. The vouchers we supply have no expiry date, so should the weather prove to be unkind on the day, another day will be arranged as soon as possible.

Price: £ 65.00 only per person for this great day out.

Hawk & Owl Experience

Spend a morning or afternoon handling various Hawks, Buzzards and owls. Learn to carry them, pick them up correctly, and tie them down safely. This is very much a hands-on affair for those who would like to experience the thrill of the birds returning to them of their own free will. Most people are ecstatic the first time that this happens, and many return to learn more about this ancient and wonderful sport.

Price: ₤ 55.00 per person

One Day Falconry Course

An introduction to the Art of Falconry. 
This course includes Feeding & weighing of the birds, handling, basic training, equipment as well as a walk through the woods with Harris Hawks.
It is designed to stimulate and inform those who are considering the possibility of taking up Falconry some time in the future. Most of the basic requirements of Falconry will be discussed, and we have a DVD for sale, which admirably compliments the clients’ experiences of the day.

Price: ₤ 85.00 per person

Three Day Falconry Course

A more intensive course designed to give the novice Falconer the basic skills & knowledge to enable him/her to train (under supervision) a Harris Hawk or Red Tail of their own. This course is more academic in nature, and will cover many more aspects of Falconry, such as: housing, husbandry, health and disease etc., bearing in mind that the client has usually expressed a wish to be more involved in the sport. Again the DVD will prove an invaluable reference work, making clear in the students’ minds, some of the aspects they may not be sure about after the course end. If any students/clients have any problems after any of the courses, we are only a ‘phone call away, a service we are proud of.

Price: ₤ 250.00 per person
