This was a brilliant day out. I have a fear of birds and was terrified. Adrian could see this as soon as he brought out the first bird. He talked me thought it and then gave me the bird and I was fine. Adrian is very knowledgeable and informative,this made the day both interesting and fun. We really enjoyed ourselves... More

My husband bought me vouchers for the Phoenix Experience for my birthday and I am so glad he did. Adrian was so informative and he certainly knows his stuff. I think what he doesn't know about these birds could be written on the back of a postage stamp and he delights in giving you as much information as he can.... More

If you are into birds and especially raptors this is one of the experiences of a lifetime. Even if you don't think you are especially into birds this is still fascinating and fun. The people running the experience are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. To be up close and personal with so many amazing birds was a dream come true for... More

I had a full day falconry experience courtesy of some birthday vouchers. The morning session was taken up in the paddock flying various birds to hand as well as a stunning display with a Harris Hawk diving to the glove right over my head. The afternoon was given over to hunting with 2 Harris Hawks over a pointer for pheasants... More

Was bought vouchers as a birthday gift last year, partner arranged for today. It was better than I expected - it was brilliant even though very cold! Staff were very helpful, friendly and informative. Have left with a new appreciation of falconry and the history and purpose in modern day. The birds are tremendous. I was scared but staff eased...

I booked a Phoenix Experience for my husband as an early birthday present for him and decided to take part as well. I'm so glad I did. We had an amazing time, and learned so much in the process. Adrian is a humorous and informed guide, as well as passionate about his chosen field. Lee and Brian were also very... More

I was lucky enough to take part in the 3 1/2 hour falconry experience last weekend. It was a birthday present and something I probably wouldn't have done of my own back. A fantastic day! Adrian's knowledge of falconry was incredible. I felt at ease, had a hands on experience and got a good taste of what these amazing birds... More

This is one of the best experiences I’ve had. We booked the 3.5-hour Phoenix Experience, which included two sessions: an introductory hour or so, learning about falconry and how they train the birds, followed by a second handling and flying session, where we got to have 6 different birds flying to us and landing on our glove (to chow down...

I was just treated to the 3.5 hour Phoenix Experience at Easterton Farm last weekend (30th March) and thought it was fantastic. Adrian, the owner/'guide' was welcoming, funny, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable on all the birds that were on show and more than happy to answer questions, regardless of how daft they may have been. It was a hands on... More
