Hawk Conservancy Trust Reviews 

It was our first visit on one of the hottest days of the year so we wondered if the weather would effect our visit but we needn’t have worried. It was an incredibly moving day for me. While it was sad to see so many species on the endangered list, it was uplifting to see the amazing work that the Trust does and the wall of like minded people putting their names and resources to help these wonderful animals. The displays were very memorable seeing the birds flying free. We also paid extra for one of the experiences and agreed it was money well spent. All the staff were really friendly and enthusiastic. We loved the day and will certainly visit again

Fantastic place, we had an amazing day there. Displays were amazing. Would highly recommend. Doing a great job in conservation

An absolutely brilliant trip to the Hawk Conservancy with my 97 yo client this morning; carers go free if advised in advance.
The aerial display was particularly exciting with falcons, vultures and eagle owls flying within inches of our heads. I was surprised at how emotional I got when the fish eagles were flying around as it felt like I was back at our camp on the banks of the Kafue River in Zambia.

Also a secretary bird that was stomping on a huge fake python. I still hate snakes, so that was most satisfying. 😁

We went to Carols with the owls last night. What a fabulous evening. Such friendly knowledgeable staff in all areas. So well organised from parking to food arrangements to seating help. It will become a regular Christmas treat. Excellent value for money. Thank you

Brilliant experience watching the birds fly loose, staff are all lovely and very knowledgeable. Will definitely be back with the grandchildren.

A fantastic day. 11 out of 10. It's about 15 years since I was last here and the place has got better and better. The flying displays were excellent. The grounds are well laid out and maintained thanks to all the volunteers. A great place to take the children. Well done and thank you.

The most enlightening enthralling, all enveloping experience, of our lives - I'm 73 & Granddaughter is 10. Forty-eight hours later & the emotions we felt on that day are still with us. We have never been soo moved by any other wildlife experience.

Great day out. Very friendly and hard working staff. Lots to see and do and lots of information

Been visiting over the years (as luckily fairly local) and it's always very informative - the displays are amazing!
Can't recommend highly enough and will be visiting again.

Very convenient location just off the A303. Plenty to do for young children, can spend most the day there. Wonderful friendly staff and volunteers really enthusiastic and passionate about what they do.

We have been visiting the Trust for a few years now and it is the most amazing place. Every day they put on three flying displays which will blow you away. It never gets tiring. I was last week fortunate enough to attend a bird experience morning, a gift from a loved one. We were looked after by the wonderful Ben and Julie and were able to fly and hold six beautiful birds, all very different but all very special.

An amazing day, everyone needs to visit the trust!

Where do I start? I was lucky enough to be given the Bird of Prey Experience as a gift and this proved to be a wonderful experience! Lovely, friendly staff and thank you Ben & Gwen, for a fantastic afternoon meeting such amazing beautiful birds and learning so much about about them, and for the brilliant conservation work you are all doing within the trust. I can’t wait to go back!

I went with my 2 grandchildren 12 & 10 we all had a lovely day. The 3 flying displays were amazing with the birds flying over our heads. The team members clearly loved their work and gave very interesting and amusing commentary. All 3 displays ended beautifully with a mixture of birds all flying free together to some lovely music. The wooded area with the owl display was very magical and well worth staying for, simply beautiful. On a hot day as it was today the 2 earlier displays have no shade so be aware to bring sun cream, drink and a hat as they do warn it can get very hot during the 30 - 45 minute displays. We had lunch in the Feathers restaurant. Friendly, polite staff, reasonably priced, clean. Food was all very nice and fresh. There are plenty of picnic benches around the place and you get a band to wear so that you can come and go as you please so no need to carry your picnic around if you want to just pop and get it from the car later. Lovely friendly, knowledgeable staff who will answer any questions as you go around the park. We loved our first visit and will certainly be returning.

I was lucky enough to be bought the 'Bird of Prey Experience Day'. Wow, wow, WOW!!!! I am still buzzing from it. Patrick and Rich were absolutely amazing and seemed to get as much of a thrill from our excitement as we did. They were both so knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the birds we flew. Everything about the Hawk Conservancy makes for a wonderful day out. If you ever get the chance to do an experience day; do not hesitate. You will be royally looked after and will be privileged to fly and engage with the most wonderful birds. An education, a joy! Thank you Patrick and Rich.....I will be back....SOON!

We had an up close and personal experience morning with the Owls today hosted by James and Fauster, It was amazing meeting these beautiful birds and learning all about them. Our hosts were really friendly and knowledgeable making the whole morning fun and enjoyable. Thank you so much James and Fawster you were great 😊

It was amazing! There were plenty of fun activities, including flying displays, which were stunning! The team were great and provided astonishing facts and commentary (along with a couple of Dad jokes!). Overall, this stunned us into silence at how epic this place is, and we have bought membership, which was definitely worth it!

Had our work Christmas lunch at the Trust and I cannot recommend this place enough. Table was beautifully laid out and the food was very yummy (wish i had taken a photo of the starter and main too haha). Jemma and her team were very accommodating and did a fab job. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were also able to watch the Woodland Owls flying display which brought its own highlights. The Trust is definitely on our list of options for next year and I Just want to shout a BIG thank you to all 😊.

The Hawk Conservancy Trust in Andover are an absolutely fantastic organisation doing great works! Wonderful day out for the whole family. Plenty to see and do. Food and drink readily available. Cannot recommend them highly enough
