Description
This is a fascinating introduction to an ancient and intriguing pursuit. See for yourself an extraordinary relationship between man and bird of prey. Falconry was originally introduced as a means of obtaining "food for the table". In Medieval Britain birds of prey were often present at grand occasions such as pageants, weddings and jousting tournaments. Even today seeing these magnificent birds up close is a very special experience and one which you won't forget.
You'll handle the birds yourself under the watchful eye of the professionals (depending on location), before they take over to perform an impressive aerial show. You will have lots of time to take some fantastic pictures of you and your new feathered friend!

Relive your childhood with this fun-filled treasure hunt. You can opt for a gentle and fun hunt for treasure or a competitive approach by splitting up and going alone! Either way this activity is unique and fun to get involved in. The treasure hunt is held on public land in either a city, rural or London location. There are two different sets of clues which are based on things you will see as you follow the route. The straightforward clues will ask you for a question that you should be able to observe on the route, for example information on a plaque or statue. In the cryptic version, the clues are generally a bit more challenging. They may be harder to spot, require some interpretation or general knowledge - a bit like a crossword clue. You will also be provided with three bonus rounds that you can use alongside the main clues. These include: - A picture round - Pictures of things you can see on the route, you will just need to write down where you saw the item pictured or find the name of the building or shop. - Pub name clues - These are cryptic clues referring to the names of the pubs or bars that you can see on or from the route. (A few routes do not include this round because there are not enough pubs - see company website for details) - Items to collect - A list of everyday, or not so every day, items for you to try to find or make as you go round the hunt route, for example 'a picture of the Prime Minister' (perhaps you could find or buy a newspaper). The main clues are integrated with instructions for the route that you will need to follow. The instructions tell you where the hunt starts and which streets to go down. The main clues appear in the order you can expect to see them, but the picture and pub clues are jumbled up so you need to keep a look-out at all times.
Once you have redeemed your voucher and selected your location, you will receive a PDF file pack via email. You can then decide which sets of clues you want to use, print them off, and make as many copies as you need for the number of family members and friends taking part. As many people can take part as you would like, and they can enjoy the hunt at any time. Please note, the London and city treasure hunts are all on foot, while the rural hunts will require a form of transport. All the rural hunts and many of the others are not a circular route so have different start and finish locations. Please note: This is not an organised event, you will receive your treasure hunt pack to use in your own time.
