...Feeding is at 2pm from the Sunday of the last weekend in October, and throughout the winter until March..

It should be noted, by those who need to drive down the 130 mtrs to the hides from the carpark, that it is necassery to arrive at the farm no later that 2pm in summer in order to secure a parking space and place(s) in a hide. Or, telephone us beforehand on 01597 810 243.

Dogs are welcome if kept on a lead. During summer months they must not be left in cars.

Car Alarms: If alarms are set we would ask that you please make sure all windows and skylights are closed as the slightest breeze can set off alarms resulting in a very noisy afternoon..

The meat we feed to the kites is beef - anything up to 700kg/week.
This is fit for human consumption and can actually be too lean for beef burgers!

Admissions: Adults £4.50, O.A.P £3.50, Children £2.00 (4yrs and under are Free)
