Weekend & Holidays Birthday Party

Description

Imagine the smile that spreads across a child’s face as a Barn Owl swoops to land perfectly on a gloved fist, the whoops of laughter as an Eagle Owl glides effortlessly across a line of children and all the while learning fascinating facts about wildlife. Feathers and Fur offer all of this and more in our tailor made birthday parties with Owls and Birds of Prey.

Please DO NOT make a payment if you have not already confirmed a date with the Feathers and Fur Falconry Centre booking team, as we cannot guarantee your required date if you assume we have space, as a small company we fill up very quickly.  

To contact the booking team please email us at info@feathersandfur.co.uk

Whats involved?

The children spend 1 hour learning, handling and meeting some of our amazing team. Birds used on the day will vary on age groups however we strive to ensure that the birthday person gets to meet their favourite member of our team!

We have a number of areas to use including a seated display arena, a large field and a class room in case of poor weather.  This 1 hour session includes a safety talk at the beginning and a time to wash hands once we finish.

You then have the use of our classroom, with table and chairs for 1 hour to provide a picnic, meal or simply Birthday cake. The room is heated in winter and has electricity if you wish to bring along some music.

The cost of the party also included 4 supervising adults. Any additional parents and siblings that want to stay and watch are charged at £5 per head. There are plenty of other shops to go and look around whilst the party takes place if parents want to remain on site at Moss End or if they are leaving the site we recommend you take note of their contact numbers in case of an emergency.

Looking to arrange something last minute or on the birthday person’s actual birthday then do get in touch as we offer after school parties and may be able to accommodate you when our weekends or school holidays are fully booked, we do offer a discount for parties held after school, 4pm -5.30pm as this means there is only time for cake. Click here to visit the ‘After-school’ party page. Please feel free to ask a member of our team about this option.

FAQ

How long does the party last? With both handling and food, Birthday parties last 2 hours.

What is the minimum age for a party? 6 years old is our minimum age for birthday parties.

Do you provide food? No, we do not provide any of the food. A number of families have used the local pizza places in Bracknell to deliver pizza or have asked the cafe on site at Moss End Garden Village, Robyns Nest to provide a picnic. We can help source some contact details if you need help. We do have drinking water on site.

Can I put food in a fridge? Sorry but we currently only have a fridge for the bird’s food. (we wouldn’t want to serve the birds your sausage rolls and the kids a mouse or two!!).

Can I put up decorations? Yes, you can hang party banners, we do ask for no balloons though as these scare the birds. Decorations must only be hung with sticky tac, NOT cello tape or pins.

Do you have somewhere to plug my music? Yes, the classroom has electricity.

What if its raining or poor weather? If the weather is poor we use the classroom for the birthday party, it is large and heated.

Can other parents stay to watch? The overall cost includes 4 supervising adults along with the 8 children. Any additional parents and siblings that want to stay and watch are charged £5 per head.

We do however like to mention that parents are in charge of the children’s behaviour and any behaviour that may cause harm to the birds or disrupt the other children will result in that child being asked to sit out. If you are worried about managing the children alone then please ask a number of the parents to stay. The falconer’s job is not to manage the children but the birds.

What is the maximum number of children? Our charge of £180 is for 8 children but you can invite up to a max of 15 children. Each additional child added after the 8 is £10 per child.

Do you do party bags? Not yet but they are on their way!!
