Calling all aspiring falconers and bird enthusiasts!

Visit Knebworth House, Gardens & Park during the week of August 14 to August 18 for Falconry Week.

Having already treated kids to a Dino Week and craft workshops this summer, it's birds of prey next, with Knebworth House hosting The English School of Falconry.

Located at Herrings Green Activity Farm & Birds of Prey Centre in Wilstead, Bedfordshire, The English School of Falconry is a family run business, and home to one of the largest collections of birds of prey in the UK.

Knebworth's special guests will provide a stunning static display of birds of prey, including a variety of owls, hawks, eagles and falcons.

In addition, they will present two spectacular 20-minute flying displays where you can watch in awe as these majestic birds soar over the Hertfordshire stately home's park.
