Get your tail-feathers in a spin with some fabulous falconry in Yorkshire! Meet majestic birds of prey & watch them soar through
...
Hidden down a country lane from the wonderfully named Luggiebank village you'll come across a rather discrete wee entrance to this outdoor activity & falconry centre. It's very much a farm site so you'll need to dress for it but it's all in keeping with these birds' preferred natural habitats
- & this is the countryside after all! Open to the public there are up to two flying displays per day here in Cumbernauld. This gives visitors of all ages the chance to see a variety of different birds in the flying arena. No two displays are the same as the birds selected to fly changes with each show. These birds of prey experiences at this friendly centre between Glasgow & Falkirk give you the chance to go beyond just being a spectator & actually get involved. We've got a full range of falconry sessions for you to choose from at World of Wings in Cumbernauld. All include entrance to the centre so you can have a wander around the aviaries & visit the excellent onsite Cabin Cafe for one of their legendary hot chocolates or a bite to eat whilst the children play in the little games area. The introductory encounter is the Hawk or Owl walk option. You'll still have a good one hour & a half hours with the birds & time is spent going on a little wander around the Cumbernauld countryside with your owl or hawk accompanying you. Then there are the half & full day birds of prey sessions. These allow you plenty of time to meet get close to & fly several species of raptor. They both also give you a good insight into the work of the falconer & what life is like for both the birds & their trainers. The ' Ultimate wingspan experience' at World of Wings gives you exclusive access to the birds (and the humans who look after tham!) for a truly VIP private visit to this Cumbernauld centre. You will be able to invite up three people to come & join you for what will be a private half day of meeting learning about & flying the birds
- & of course there's all the time to ask all the questions you've ever wanted to!
