Our magical Winter Woodland Lights event will be returning January 2025! The Hawk Conservancy Trust will once again become even more spectacular, with beautiful illuminations and a live owl display set in a stunning, colourful woodland.
A dazzling event to brush away the winter blues, explore our popular illuminated walk, with exciting new sights to discover this year. Our beautiful owls will take flight in our woodland, brought to life with music, special effects and lighting to tell a brand new story that will amaze and inspire. Book ahead and have a sparkling start to the new year to look forward to!
As a charity, your support through attending this event and purchasing gifts, food and drink at the Trust is greatly appreciated, and allows us to continue our mission to conserve birds of prey and their habitats.
Feathers Restaurant will be open from 5:00pm serving a delicious menu to keep you feeling warm throughout the evening. From tasty meals, to tempting treats and speciality hot chocolate, complete your evening out with some delicious food and drink before exploring our illuminations and watching our owls take flight.

What should I wear?
We have a natural countryside setting: sensible footwear and appropriate clothing for outdoors is recommended. Most walkways are laid paths; however, you may find some natural unevenness when moving around the Trust. This event will be held outside so please come dressed for the weather.
Do I need to bring anything?
You can bring a small torch with you; we ask that you switch them off during the displays and that you don’t shine them into the aviaries. Padded mats to sit on will be given to you to borrow, but you are welcome to bring your own or a cushion. Padded mats are also available to purchase from the Trust Shop.

Yes, you are welcome to take photos. We’d love to see them – please share them with us on social media after the event. Please note flash photography is not permitted around our birds or when they are flying as part of this event.
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes, we can cater for most requirements. If you have not already notified us of any such requirements, please email info@hawkconservancy.org at least one week in advance of the event to notify us.
