The York Bird of Prey Centre was established in 2011 and is based within the walled garden at Burn Hall Hotel, on Tollerton Road in Huby.
Construction on the current Centre started in late 2012 and was completed in 2013, opening to the public on Saturday 15th June.
The Centre is home to over 100 birds, comprising of 45 different species and there are two flying displays every day. In addition there are opportunities to meet and handle the birds throughout the day.
The Centre also offers a gift shop as well as a café selling hot & cold drinks, sandwiches, confectionery.
The Centre continues to pride itself on the level of audience participation in the displays - so be prepared to get involved! The majority of our birds are hand-reared, safe to handle and you will be fully supervised at all times.
We offer a wide range of Hawk Walks, Owl Experiences, and Falconry Courses, available all year round and these can be be purchased as a gift voucher for that special occasion.
We also cater for outside events such as Galas, Fétes, Corporate Events and Educational Visits to schools.
Private flying displays either at Burn Hall or the location of your choice - indoors or out, are also available.
You will hopefully find all the information you need on this site - but please feel free to contact us with any questions we will be very pleased to help.
The Centre holds an up-to-date Zoo License and is registered as required under the performing animals act.
