The Hawking Centre Reviews
Voted Kent’s Number 1 Day Out
Just wanted to thank you so much for a truly wonderful afternoon on Monday. It was a dream come true to have close encounters with such stunning beautiful Birds of Prey. Thank you Arron, Jacob and Jess for memorable walks around the Doddington estate. What a privilege it was! I’ve waxed lyrical about the experience to all my friends and family! Hope to see you all again soon. Belinda
My husband and I went along for the full day experience as a birthday treat for my husband. We’d been on a falconry day before but this beats it hands down! The Doddington Place Gardens were a great backdrop to the experience. The whole experience was really well organised, the birds well looked after, loads of hands-on experience and lots of knowledge shared. A special thanks to Jamie who looked after us during our experience, she is so passionate and knowledgeable about what she does, her enthusiasm was completely infectious. I’ve already passed on details to friends who’ve heard our stories and seen our photos! Thanks again. (Oh and the lunch was pretty good too, especially the chocolate cake!) Catrine McGregor
Karen, just wanted to let you know that my Grandson and I had a super day, photographs turned out well (bonus). Big thank you to your staff member who put up with my many “silly” questions and made the day really special. Trevor Mallinson
THANK YOU SO MUCH for an amazing day at Doddington Place. Alan was delighted with his experience and the thrill of flying the birds is one he will remember forever. And so will I – thank you for including me, it was beyond our expectations but made it even more special. Some of our photographs have turned out quite well – once I got the hang of it and stopped shooting the floor!! I hope the other chap was pleased with some of his snaps too. You were a great tutor – your explanations were clear, in layman’s terms and we learned so much about how these awesome birds live, fly, survive, meld into their surroundings and live alongside other animals and humans in rural and suburban environments and how they are so important, if perhaps mostly unseen by most of us.

Just want to say I had a fantastic morning and loved every minute. The birds are beautiful and I feel like I learnt a lot from the very knowledgable falconer. Hope to come back one day.

We just wanted to let you know how much we all enjoyed our hawking experience yesterday afternoon.
Bradley was terrifically knowledgeable about the beautiful birds at the centre, and it was great to be able to observe them at close range when we got to fly a selection of them.
