For over 12 years, Wide Eyes Falconry have been successfully teaching and inspiring children through the art of falconry.

Our young falconers learn real skills, gain real confidence, and even go on to have careers alongside some of the uk’s top falconers.

Saturday club.

Our weekly Saturday club focuses on teaching children the ancient art of Falconry.  Children are given the opportunity to handle, fly and learn about our beautiful birds of prey.  

Throughout the year there are opportunities for the children to take part in public displays and competitions.  We have a fun, friendly and welcoming group of children who attend, some who have been with us over ten years!

  • Build social and life skills

  • Mindfulness and wellbeing

  • Fine and Gross motor skills

Building Confidence.

Participating in activities at the Wide Eyes Falconry Kids Club can help children build self-confidence and develop better public speaking skills. Handling and training birds of prey requires patience, focus, and a steady hand, all of which can boost a child’s self-confidence as they successfully complete tasks and see progress in their skills.

Additionally, during club events and presentations, children may have the opportunity to speak publicly about their experiences and the knowledge they have gained. This can help them develop better communication skills and feel more comfortable speaking in front of others.

  • Public speaking

  • Confidence building

Learning the art of Falconry

The club has experienced and trained falconers who teach children the basics of handling and caring for birds of prey.

Through hands-on experiences, children can learn how to hold, feed, and fly these majestic creatures. With the guidance of experienced instructors, children can develop an understanding and appreciation for the natural world.

  • Handling the birds

  • Equipment making

  • Public displays

  • Flying the birds
