Thirsk Birds of Prey Centre at Sion Hill Hall, was set up to ensure that birds of prey would survive to provide the public with a rare opportunity to see and enjoy these beautiful birds.
The birds are flown in three amazing displays each day, with different birds in each display and the chance to get up close and personal in a handling session afterwards - at no extra cost - providing great photo opportunities!
This award-winning attraction is a fantastic trip out for all the family, rounded off with a visit to our well-stocked gift shop and snack bar.
Gift vouchers make a great present and are available in £5 denominations. Or what about an Experience Days as a perfect Christmas gift? Prices range from £30 for a Hawk Walk, £50 for an Owl Experience, and up to £130 for a Family Flying Encounter.
Find more details online, and vouchers can be purchased online and by phone, even when the centre is closed for winter.
