The British Bird of Prey Centre
About
The British Bird Of Prey Centre is Wales’ only dedicated venue for native raptors, owls, and hawks, offering visitors an unforgettable interactive experience with more than twenty species. Each day, guests can watch daily flying shows at 11:00 am, 1:00 pm, and 3:00 pm, and explore natural‑looking aviaries where the birds spend most of their time. In addition to the shows, the centre boasts an Indoor Interactive Activity Centre and an outdoor play area where children can enjoy games while learning about wildlife conservation.

These activities provide hands‑on learning, from building nests to observing hunting techniques, all under the guidance of expert falconers and conservationists. Whether you’re a seasoned birdwatcher, a school group, or simply a curious traveler, the centre’s blend of thrilling performances, immersive learning, and conservation messaging ensures a memorable day that supports the protection of Britain’s wild raptors.
