The Falconry Centre
📍 Stourbridge, West Midlands
Charity-run centre in Stourbridge housing over 80 birds of prey across 30+ species. Daily flying displays run year-round, with advance-bookable handling experiences for ages 6+. Accessible by wheelchair with ramp access.
Such a fabulous place. We had a fabulous time the staff were very knowledgeable and made the whole experience fun. We had a whole day experience starting off with the smaller birds, all had such character and were so beautiful. In the afternoon the brought out the bigger birds and it all ended being able to go into the cage with the large vultures, it was so amazing. The centre is attached to Webbs Garden Centre so a nice cafe to have hot drinks and lunch. It can be quite pricey, but was handy and the menu offered many choices. Would highly recommend this place for a great day out £7 for a day visitor, or pay to have an actual experience - great preent for someone if you don't know what to buy.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 6 and up who want close-up encounters with birds of prey. The daily flying display lasts around an hour and covers both small and large birds. Handling experiences require advance booking and carry an additional cost. Wheelchair ramp access is available.

“Very good falconry centre. Feels odd to walk through a garden centre to get to it. But I have been to their show both in the field where they can fly a long way and in the smaller arena. They seem to treat the birds with respect and build relationships with them well. They are informative and interesting but it's not too dry or school like. All the Averys where the birds are kept were clean and looked well cared for. The variety of birds you could see was amazing. Definitely worth a visit. The toilets are back in the garden centre where they also have a cafe that serves food and cakes. There are wheel chairs ramps access. The parking is easy.”

“Amazing! The entrance is not easy to be found as it's hidden behind the gardening centre (which is also amazing). A lot of falcons and you can see them very closely. The falcon show and flying show last for around an hour in total, which is much longer and worth watching than we've expected. The centre is neat and tidy, not even a hint of weird smell even on a rainy day. The birds are beautiful, the staff are friendly, the place is a wonderful maze that you won't want to leave.”

“An amazing day out. We attended a marvellous half day handling experience that involved 10 birds of prey or owls, and were then able to see a flying display and look round the aviaries. Staff are very knowledgeable, have great relationships with the birds and care for them beautifully. Superb experience. If you just want to watch, entrance fee is an absolute bargain, but the handling experience is amazing.”
