Hawk Conservancy Trust

About

The Hawk Conservancy Trust is a full day out for the whole family. Come see our brilliant birds at some of the most spectacular flying displays in the UK, changing with the seasons so you’ll experience something new every time you visit! See up to 20 birds flying at once, dramatic effects and music during the shows.

Consistently ranked as TOP on things to do in Hampshire on Trip Advisor’s traveller’s ranking and with over 3000 five star reviews, you can be confident of a fabulous day out!

Get the children outside and immersed in nature as they explore the grounds. Let them blow off steam as they dive into our exciting Top Trumps trail and bird of prey themed playground. Watch in wonder as our birds soar across the skies and amongst our woodland, giving you and the family a chance to see owls, vultures and eagles up close. These are just some of the activities that make up the Hawk Conservancy Trust’s full timetable of daily activities. NEW for 2023 – see the brand new, awe-inspiring flying display Masters of the Sky – their biggest daily flying display ever, and be inspired about the wildlife around us on a brand new Tree Trail!

‘Meet the Burrowers’ in the fascinating and immersive aviary where you can come face to face with the Trust’s team of cute and curious Burrowing Owls or even book on to a VIP Encounter to meet them yourself!

In between the three daily flying displays, there are daily activities to keep you and the children entertained, including tractor rides (weekends and school holidays only), a nest building activity, talks and more!

For those who want to learn more and get closer to the birds, there are Children’s Owl Experiences, Young Falconer Experiences and Family Experiences, all of which are held on specific dates and offer an extraordinary memory to cherish forever.

Bring the family to the Hawk Conservancy Trust for a day in the country; to have fun, to learn, to be inspired and to be amazed. Please check the website www.hawk-conservancy.org for opening times and daily timetables. The site is fully accessible with Feathers Restaurant and the Trust Shop onsite.

As a conservation charity with a mission to conserve birds of prey, your ticket prices goes towards our vital conservation work that takes place both here in the UK and overseas.
