All are welcome to this colourful international celebration, which includes children’s activities, bird of prey demonstrations, talks, exhibits and exciting practical workshops on the art and practice of falconry.
Two days of music, dance, and poetry will entertain and inspire. Join hundreds of falconers from Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, to learn how they train and hunt with their birds.
Spend an unforgettable day relaxing with falcons and salukis in a Bedouin tent, and share traditional food and Arabic coffee in the company of old friends and new.
