Youth Weekend Scouts & Girl Guiding – September 13th & 14thCalling all Cubs, Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Scouts join us on September 13th & 14th for a weekend of activities, all to help you achieve your animal badges and get close to our wonderful birds & animals.
The farm is home to over 200 birds of prey as well as many breeds of animals. Here at the farm we believe the best way for children to learn is to get close to our beautiful birds and animals. Over the course of the weekend as well as our daily flying displays and animal encounters we will be running owl and animal sessions which will not only provide the children with the knowledge needed to help them achieve their badges but to also enjoy meeting and handling some of our birds and animals. We have a packed program running over the two days, you can choose which activities you attend, all run by our experienced falconers and animal keepers.
