Ever wanted to hold an owl or get close to a bird of prey?

Poulter Park is home lots of birds of prey, including kestrels, sparrowhawks, little owls and tawny owls.

We often see them swooping through the long grass, perched on the rugby poles or flying silently at dusk. But our wild birds are shy so we can only ever catch a glimpse of them.

Hoot in the Park is your chance to get up close and personal with trained owls and birds of prey and learn more about our beautiful wild neighbours. Our friends from Berkshire Birds of Prey are bringing 5-7 birds to Poulter Park. For £2 you’ll be able to hold and meet birds of all sizes, from a little owl to a sparrowhawk or kestrel up to barn owls and tawnies.
