Availability: Seven days a week throughout the year. Weather: Please call the venue for a weather check the day before setting out. If the experience is cancelled because of bad weather it will be re-booked for an alternative date. Duration: The experience lasts for around six hours (usually from 10.30am). Numbers On Day: Group size on this experience is a maximum of five. Spectators: Guest passes can be purchased on the day for £30 and include lunch. Guests will be around the birds but may not handle them. Dress Code: Dress for the outdoors with wellies or walking boots. Bring a change of clothes if the weather is very bad. Don't forget your camera or pair of binoculars if you have them. Guidelines: From the M25 take the second of two exits at junction 3 (not the M20 exit) and then take the second exit at the slip road roundabout signed A20 (East) for West Kingsdown, A225 Farningham and Brands Hatch. Turn right onto the A225 towards Sevenoaks. In the village of Eynsford, take a right turn up Lullingstone Lane, cross the river and head up to Eagle Heights. There is ample car parking. Restrictions: Minimum age is 14. You need to be reasonably fit as the day involves a fair amount of walking, often over uneven ground. This experience is not suitable for disabled people. Other Info: Dogs are NOT permitted on-site. There are lots of fascinating creatures at this venue, including displays of reptiles as well as birds.

After tea or coffee with the falconer, go on to hear about the birds, conservation, ecology and history. Meet a kestrel, a Steppe eagle and a hooded vulture with the anticipated excitement that goes with flying such magnificent birds. Sit down to a hot lunch and explore the centre at your leisure. After lunch, accompany the falconer and a group of harris hawks on a walk over the pretty North Downs, getting the opportunity to handle one of the hawks during the stroll. Arrive back at the centre to end this wonderful birds of prey experience with hot drinks and cake.
