The Hawk Conservancy Trust invites you to a special summer’s evening with our feathered friends. Against a stunning sunset sky, you’ll have the opportunity to meet a wide range of our incredible birds of prey and the dedicated team working alongside them. Step inside the world of these awesome birds to watch them soar, swoop and dive over our grounds at dusk – showing off their skills before your very eyes in two breathtaking flying displays.
From the speed of our falcons to strength of our eagles, you’ll experience the might and power of these amazing birds whilst immersed in the Hampshire countryside, with expert commentary from our team to top off an amazing evening celebrating nature.
Before the first display begins, you’ll have time to grab a bite to eat from Feathers Restaurant, and independently explore the Trust grounds at this tranquil time of day after regular opening hours, and see our birds in their homes settling down for the evening.
Tickets: £21.95
On selected dates of this event, our Artist in Residence Alex McGarry will be joining us and creating a live-painting of the evening as it unfolds. There’ll be a chance to meet Alex, view her current work created for the Trust, and see this one-of-a-kind painting come to life over the course of the evening.
There will also be an opportunity to view and purchase raffle tickets for our Artist in Residence Raffle. You could be in with the chance to win this one-of-a-kind portrait of our Great Grey Owl Walter, worth over £1200!
