Falconry for outdoor team building

Falconry demonstration and workshop can be included as a team building activity at the New Forest Outdoor Centre, Hampshire

Our falconry activity gives individuals the opportunity to experience the thrill of flying and hunting with some of nature's most spectacular birds of prey. The session begin with an introduction to birds of preys from our expert handler and then it will be "gloves on" to handle several species of these gracious and intelligent birds.

The delegates will learn how to attract the bird to fly to them and marvel when these magnificent birds of prey swoop in to land gently on their gloved hand.

The falconry activity is ideal to include as part of a bespoke team building day or fun team build. When selected as part of an adult activity session extra charges will apply.

Team members may begin the session in awe of the birds but with expert tuition from our falconer they will quickly gain the confidence to handle these proud birds.
