Please be patient when waiting for replies, we have over 150 animals whos care is our number 1 priority!
At the North Somerset Bird of Prey Centre we pride ourselves on our fun, educational sessions that aim to engage and inspire students of all ages.
Our interactive sessions can help support a number of topics in animal studies and fit in with the national cirriculum, with the added bonus of students seeing our animals up close!
With Educational Talks and Animal Workshops available, we have something to suit a range of group sizes and budgets.
Our talks are not just limited to children and students either. Our outreach team regularly visits care homes, hospices, organised groups, universities, corporate events, support groups and hospitals.
