About The Event
Back by popular demand! Come and enjoy a unique spectacle. Watch free flying owls, from all across the globe, inside the beautiful Riding Hall. There will be owls of all different species and sizes, from Bubble and Squeak our Barn Owls, to Domino our cheeky Spectacled Owl to our beautiful Clover our Ural Owl – plus more!
These owls frequently do such indoor events and they love it, so we thought – why not plan an evening ourselves?! It certainly promises to be an event like no other.
An in depth commentary will be given throughout, as we learn all about these magical creatures and their characters. The owls will be flying very close to you throughout the show. There will also be opportunities for members of the audience to fly the owls themselves.
The show lasts around 1 hour. After the show there will be a photo opportunity with an owl – £5

Some Of Our Treasured Owls You May Meet*
Domino
Spectacled Owl
This cheeky chap plays a major part in our work here at Hawkeye. He loves to be travelling around the UK and hugely prefers having all of the attention on him. Bred in The Highlands, Domino has been with us since being 2 weeks old.
Mylo
Striped Owl
You certainly know when Mylo is around! He is so expressive and calls frequently during the day, expressing his happiness. He is incredibly clever and does like to trick us and test if we are switched on each day!
Clover
Ural Owl
An owl brimming with unbridled curiosity and a thirst for exploration. Among our companions, Clover stands as the epitome of adventure. With a fearless spirit matched only by her majestic plumage, she captivates all who cross her path.
Bubble
Barn Owl
The most beautiful sight in the british countryside, has to be a Barn Owl. Bubble is a perfect example of this and flys beautifully. You won't be able to hear her coming, but she is a real professional.
Squeak
Barn Owl
Despite being different in appearance, Squeak is so confident and loves to fly with Bubble. He is a very rare spectacle and certainly loves to show off. You will never forget him!
Peanut
Long Eared Owl
Peanut is a recent new addition. This elusive British species is simply mesmerising. He loves to explore the woods at Thoresby - the mice are not keen on him though!
Rocky
Milky Owl
An impressive sight indeed, Rocky our Milky Owl is not just any ordinary bird; he is a magnificent creature with a striking presence. This large boy possesses a wonderfully cheeky personality that adds to his charm and allure.
Coco
Spectacled Owl
Flower
Great Grey Owl
Discover Flower the enchanting Great Grey Owl, a stunning marvel of nature. With her striking features and captivating gaze, this magnificent bird is sure to leave you spellbound.
* We are unable to promise particular owls. It all depends on how they are feeling at the time.
