North Somerset Bird Of Prey Centre

Welcome to the North Somerset Bird of Prey Centre

Our Aims and Objectives

At the North Somerset Birds of Prey Centre, our mission is simple:

~ to conserve birds of prey through public education and responsible captive breeding.

We’re a small sanctuary with a big heart, dedicated to offering unforgettable, up-close encounters and inspiring educational shows that bring people closer to wildlife.

Visiting NSBOPC

We’re not open for general admission every day — and there’s a good reason for that! Much of our time is spent delivering educational sessions at schools, universities, and community groups across the region. We also run an extensive breeding programme and care for many rescue animals, all of which require calm surroundings to thrive.

So, how can you visit us?
 

Open Days

Join us on one of our Open Days - no booking required!

You can find all the dates and admission details under the ‘Open Days’ tab at the top of this page.

Each Open Day offers:

• Get hands-on and hold a bird of prey
• Meet our other amazing residents including reptiles, ferrets, meerkats, foxes, a binturong, skunks, and even an armadillo!
• Enjoy exciting demonstrations and interactive talks

With over 60 resident birds of prey – from eagles, owls and vultures, to hawks and falcons – there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Follow us on Facebook for the latest updates, event timings, and behind-the-scenes news.

Our Work in Education and Conservation

Education is at the heart of everything we do.

We provide engaging talks and workshops for all ages – from primary schools to universities – both at the centre and off-site.

Our breeding programme focuses on research, conservation, and the care of species that are not yet well understood. Through this work, we aim to ensure a future for these incredible birds both in the UK and further afield.

Licensed, Insured, and Passionate

We are a fully licensed and insured facility.

Above all, we’re passionate about inspiring others to love and protect wildlife. Children are the future – and a child who learns to care for nature today will be the adult who takes action tomorrow.

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date with everything happening at the Centre.

Together, we can make a difference for birds of prey and the natural world.

'In the end we will only conserve what we love.

We only love what we understand.

We will understand only what we are taught.'  Baba Dioum
