Lovely to see everyone today at Herstmonceux Castle Estate, for the 1st display of the summer!

We have 2-3 a week over the next month, so plenty of opportunities to come watch a display and enjoy the stunning grounds on the estate.

24/07/2025

This Sunday 2:00-3:00 is the first of many displays we are doing at Herstmonceux Castle Estate this summer.

So why not come to the beautiful estate for the day, enjoy a walk around the garden and grounds, visit the Tearoom for some lunch and then come and watch and learn about a few of our amazing raptors!

The display is included with your day ticket to the estate.

Please note we do not allow dogs near the display arena during the display. However dogs are allowed on the estate on lead.

The display is also subject to the weather on the day as we can’t fly the team in rain or high winds.

We hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful summer weather! ☀️

During our lunch break today we left Pablo, our rather entertaining Aplomado falcon, out to explore the grounds for 45 minutes while our guests enjoyed their lunch. She popped in every 10 minutes to say hello, and to grab some lunch herself, before heading off again.

Although the front of Herstmonceux Castle is still not looking quite as beautiful as normal, with work still being carried out. I think we can all agree however that the view from the back is still stunning! Especially with one of our Kites flying over head!

I did spend 45 minutes trying to get a nice shot of both our kites flying over the castle together, but they refused to both fly over at the same time in the same shot so I had to settle for just the one 😂, they still had fun!

It looks like we have some great weather coming our way over the next few weeks!! The team love sunny blue sky’s as they can really enjoy getting out and spreading their wings!!
