We took my uncle for his 60th birthday on the hawkwalk and had a lovely day. Very well set up and Katy our guide was very knowledgeable & welcoming and kept all of us interested from age 5 to 60! Great day had by all, thank you SMJ

We booked a family half day falconry experience for my sons 9th birthday. It was a fantastic day. We all flew 5 or 6 beautiful birds and our guide, Steve, was so knowledgeable and patient. It was the the best day and would happily go back. Well worth the money!

I had a lovely half day experience. Both Chris and Steve took time to ensure I got all the photos I needed to create future art pieces. They were very patient and knowledgeable about the birds and their personalities. I felt very privileged getting up close to such fabulous birds. Would definitely recommend.

The hawks were slightly over weight to be able to do the walk, but the team gave us a tour of the birds they have, and then let me fly three, including Holly the Hawk who is usually a hunter, but flew to me twice. I think she's shy as she only did it when nobody was watching her. Julianne the Vulture was delightful and has such a lovely personality. She flew to me over and over again and it was incredible to see her up close. Heidi the owl was beautiful, even if she did seem a bit grumpy. The team were full of stories and interesting facts and really care for their birds. I'd recommend this experience to anyone!

Sandra and the team are some of the nicest people I have met, and their falconry centre is something they should all be very proud of. I first visited their establishment on a full day experience, and was so thoroughly impressed and inspired by them that I returned to do the four day Raptor Award. The experience day was attended by myself with friends, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Katie and Steve were knowledgeable, engaging and tailored the experience well to the needs of my group. For anyone considering doing the Raptor Award with them I can't stress how good your experience will be. The team are, as mentioned, incredibly knowledgeable and even more importantly are patient. They balance well the need for you to learn and still maintain the all important welfare of the animals. Put in the time and effort and they will support you all the way, even after my four day course is over it has been made clear that I have some where to continue to learn. I can't thank them all enough.

An outstanding visit which catered for our group ranging from age 8 to 80. We got up close to the birds, learnt so much and have the chance to experience something very special. I recommend this to any nature lover. It really was brilliant in every way.

We had such a special time at SMJ. We had seen their brilliant display at the Halifax Agricultural Show in August and managed to book our own unique experience in their stunning site just outside of Oxenhope. The team were so knowledgeable and informative. Can't recommend highly enough. They are quite clearly passionate about their beautiful birds. We'll be back for an even longer experience next time. Thank you SMJ you made our week.

I booked the half day bird of prey experience. My husband accompanied me to take photos. Very knowledgeable staff and they spoke with enthusiasm for their lovely birds. It was a privilege to be able to get so close to these beautiful creatures.

What a great afternoon! Friends booked this for me and I had a lovely afternoon meeting all the birds, then having time flying various types, starting with the lightest then moving steadily up to bigger ones. My favourite was Tiffin the kestrel, but all the birds were beautiful. A great way to spend an afternoon, informative and fun. Highly reccomended. Thankyou.

Had an amazing time, all the staff were lovely! Booked this as a birthday gift for my best friend, we wanted something slightly different to their usual experiences and they were more than happy to accommodate. Excellent communication on email, quick responses. Excellent explanation of the address too!
