Visiting the Red Kite Centre
Red Kite Feeding has been taking place at Gigrin Farm for 365 days a year the past 18 years without break.
Feeding times change as red kites don't know that the clocks change twice a year.
Throughout the summer we will be feeding the red kites at 3pm.
From Sunday 31st October 2010 feeding will be at 2pm..
We open from 1pm every day but for Christmas Day.
Booking is only required if you are coming as a group (12 or more) or organising a coach party.

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 2043.
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 £4.00, O.A.P £3.00, Children £1.50 (4yrs and under are Free)
