SBW Raptors Open Day brings free bird of prey displays, meet-and-greets and family activities to Calbourne Water Mill.

Presented by SBW Raptors

SBW Raptors Open Day brings birds of prey, family activities and free entry to Calbourne Water Mill for the May Bank Holiday. The timetable gives families clear points to aim for: owls at 11am, eagles and vulture at 12:30pm, a meet-and-greet at 1:45pm, then hawks and falcons at 3pm.

Calbourne Water Mill has gardens, cafe stops, treats, adventure golf and free parking, so you can stretch the visit around the flying displays rather than arriving for one short slot. Dogs are welcome on leads, which helps if the Bank Holiday plan needs to include the whole household.

This should suit children who like animals, parents who need a simple outdoor plan, and anyone who wants an Isle of Wight family day out with more than a screen or soft play. Check SBW Raptors for their falconry background before you go.
