Toilets

There are hand washing facilities at the centre. Toilets as well as a dedicated disabled toilet are just outside the main entrance at Heather's Coffee Shop.

Disabled access

Here at the North Somerset Bird of Prey Centre we try to make ourselves wheelchair-friendly. The paths are generally quite firm and all one level across the whole centre.  There is a slight slope up to our flying arena. Mobility scooters (or an enthusiastic wheelchair pusher!) will be fine.  However if you are finding it difficult to push or negotiate your way around the centre our staff and volunteers are pleased to be able to assist if help is needed - just give us a shout!  We can accommodate wheelchair users on our Owl Experience, Falconry Day and Bird of Prey Experiences.

Assistance Dogs

As a rule we do not allow dogs or other animals into the Centre as they can frighten or upset the birds, however guide dogs will be allowed in if we are warned in advance.  We do apologise, but with wildlife, such as birds of prey, we do need some advance warning.  During the flying you may be asked to sit at the back, a little away from the birds so they are not distracted by an unfamiliar dog.
