Icarus Falconry

Brilliant day out! Thank you for an amazing experience.. I'd highly recommend these guys. The staff were fantastic and really knowledgeable and we learnt a tonne of stuff. It's was a really hands-on experience we got lots of time to interact with the birds.. 5 stars!!

Was given experience as a birthday gift. I had the best day learning about all the owls and falcons. The staff were brilliant. The thrill of having a bird of prey come swooping up to your arm is amazing. The birds are so well looked after and loved. The setting at holdenby is perfect. Thank you so much. I will definitely be visiting again.

Best birthday gift ever! We had an amazing experience flying falcons, owls and vultures. Emily & Osel were so welcoming, knowledgeable and have an incredible passion for their work and for the welfare of the birds. I have recommended this experience to all my family, friends and colleagues. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

What a great day at Icarus falconry centre , we had such a good time with Dave and his wonderful team. Great variety of some of the world's stunning birds of prey. Set on beautiful grounds and a very high standard of centre where the birds are so well cared for. We got to see some lovely displays and got a very informative tour and chat with the hard working staff. I highly recommend you come and pay a visit to this great centre and if your looking for something extra special book one of their many fun packed experience days , you won't regret it. Can't wait to visit again when the weather gets better.

Went to Holdenby House today to visit the Gardens ,tea room, and Icarus Falconry . We'll what a great day and great value for money. Also got to say hats off to Dave Sharpe, his wife, and the team. Been to a couple of Falconry centres, but the way Dave does his talks is not only informative but entertaining as well.

Brilliant Premier Falconry Experience.The setting is so beautiful and historic.The staff were amazing so informative and passionate about their birds.My husband flew a falcon, two owls and a wonderful vulture.Highly recommend.

Great experience at this place. Amazing careful people and very well trained birds. The grounds are just amazing and they look from a fairytale. On the day I visited with a large group the weather was absolutely perfect. Sunny, occasionally windy and only few clouds in the sky. I highly recommend this place. It is great not only for kids but for adults too. I had the chance to see and pet eagles and owls. They are extraordinary birds and so smart. I will definitely go again to visit and walk around the grounds of this amazing place. 5 ☆ all the way!

Wow. What an amazing day out. Took my mum for her birthday as she loves barn owls. The staff were amazing and incredibly understanding. Mum got to hold owls and falcons, stroke them and take part in flights with them landing on her hand. Would totally recommend anyone going for a visit. Very reasonably priced but should be booked online to guarantee a viewing.

Great place, staff are very friendly. Great birds of prey. Very welcoming
