On 4th and 5th July 2009, Raphael Falconry is presenting a variety of stunning flights from their collection of hawks, owls and falcons. As they swoop and hover, pounce and pitch, discover how each bird is uniquely designed for flight. Learn about the role of falconers in Norman times and why they had to keep their birds’ feathers in top condition. Find out about the history of the arrow and archery and see if you would have made a good archer yourself. The event is free for English Heritage members, or adults are £6.70, concessions £5.70, children £3.40, or a family ticket is £16.80.
