Go Active Falconry was established out of a deep passion for birds of prey, conservation, and education.
Located at White Post Farm in Farnsfield, the Bird of Prey Centre is home to over 30 different species of hawks, owls, eagles, and falcons. The centre is welcoming, fully accessible, and designed for visitors of all ages and abilities.
Founders Laura and Simon take great pride in having launched the very first centre of its kind in Nottinghamshire. They are delighted to welcome guests from across the country to share in their enthusiasm for these magnificent birds.
