About

The ever-popular Medieval Falconry event at The Bishop's Palace, Wells takes place on Saturday 12th April, 9.30-5.30pm.

Families will enjoy a unique day out at the Palace, learning about how birds of prey were used in medieval times and seeing them in action during flying displays at 12pm and 3pm (we recommend you leave enough time for entry if you're coming to see the displays, as they can be popular).

Tony from Raptorcare will showcase the incredible skills of these beautiful birds and between displays, visit Tony and his team at the medieval tents to learn more.

Don't forget to pick up a sticker for your Palace Passport on the day!
