If you're looking for a day out with a difference, don't miss The Bishop's Palace's Medieval Falconry Day on Saturday, September 10 (9.30am-5.30pm). 

Held on the South Lawn, against the stunning backdrop of the medieval Palace's Great Hall, Tony from specialist falconry firm, Raptorcare, will entertain crowds with a day of fantastic flying displays, fascinating information and beautiful birds! 

Displays will take place at 12pm and 3pm.

Aimed at all ages of visitor, displays will illustrate how these birds would have been used in Medieval times and why. Marvel at their skill and training as they show off their well-honed moves in front of the audience and in between displays, visitors can have the chance to handle some of the birds. 

The 14 acres of Gardens will also be open, and the Dragon's Lair Play Area is the perfect place to exercise little legs – climb the Dragon's Wings, explore the Tree Pods, crawl through the Dragon's belly or pump the water to spill the bucket and send the Dragon to sleep – the choice is yours! 

The Bishop's Table café will also be open, serving a range of drinks and snacks. 

Please note that the Bishop's Palace will close at 1pm for a private event but the Bishop's Palace Gardens and Bishop's Table café will remain open as usual.
