Thirsk Birds of Prey Centre

Attraction Overview

The Thirsk Birds of Prey Centre is located close to Thirsk at Sion Hill Hall in North Yorkshire. It provides a variety of experience days. It is a conservation centre that was set up to ensure the survival of birds of prey and to provide the public with the opportunity to see these beautiful birds. You don’t have to book an experience to visit the centre.

The centre has daily bird displays where eagles, falcons, hawks, kites, owls and vultures swoop and dive all around you. The arena is set in the centre’s English garden. The skilled handlers will teach you more about their birds and you can discover first-hand why these birds are masters of the sky. At the end of each display, they do allow members of the public to hold their birds of prey (not everyone will be able to take part, there is no extra cost for this) In between displays many of their birds are on display for photos.

The centre has over 70 birds and 30 species. They have a range of experiences you can book on at an additional cost. Experiences range from half-day to one-hour walks or flying encounters. Children from 8 can take part in the one-hour flying encounter, those under 10 can take part in the hawk walk so long as they are accompanied by an adult hawk walk follower.

They have three displays per day at 11:30, 1:30 and 3.30 (Weather Permitting) With different birds in each display.
