Home to over 230 birds of prey with 3 flying demonstrations a day, come and enjoy the Centre as visitors have been doing for more than 50 years. Explore the gardens and woodland, grab a bite to eat in the cafe and see everything from Pygmy Falcons to Steller's Sea Eagles! COVID Changes - please note that we have restrictions in place. All tickets must be purchased through our website and we have temporarily changed our flying demonstrations to 12pm and 3:30pm.
Best flying show I have seen, really interesting education about the birds and very passionate people, the birds welfare is a priority and they do some great work - we loved it so much we stayed for the second flights, highlight was the Sea Eagle in flight and the Burrowing Owl and the x4 kites flying together, peregrine was amazingly fast and the European owl so silent, vultures too were fascinating, highly recommend for everyone - food was good too at the cafe and locally sourced and rubbish recycled. Do go along and support them as I imagine it is very expensive to run, they do rescue work as well and breeding programme for the endangered species.

Fascinating one hour tour with a short walk down the pit. Very informative and insightful. Couldn’t fault Richard who was our patient guide (and also a miner) - a real character with a great sense of humour. Loved it. Great cafe too.

The lovely surroundings and care and time taken by the owners to make this a safe and relaxing environment. Proper hygiene measures in place. A unique and picturesque course without the usual tat and commercialism. Each hole was different and a variety of fun and challenge. A fantastic family activity!

This is our family's favourite cinema in the area......let me tell you why. You are assured of a warm welcome in this wonderful cinema with very affordable prices for families. Housed in an Art Deco building with original fixtures and fittings, tickets are priced at £3.50 and reasonably priced refreshments include a range of hot & cold drinks, savoury snacks, sweets and popcorn in a variety of bucket sizes to suit. The seats are comfortable and it's warm and cosy, with two screens: a large screen downstairs (which has some double seats) and a smaller one upstairs. Great for children's birthday visits, as the cinema has a lovely Art Deco cafe room at the back where families can meet up to drop off their children beforehand - it's like stepping back in time. Always showing the latest films and a matinee available too. We love the Palace!

Forest of Dean Adventure Golf (Pirate Island) is a 12 hole adventure golf experience in a beautiful country setting on the edge of the Royal Forest of Dean. The course is designed for people of all ages and abilities. There is also a small cafe with viewing balcony, a picnic area and a play park. Due to COVID-19 we are running a booking only system so we suggest you book early to avoid disappointment. We are open on Tuesdays during school term (subject to pre booking) i.e. if we have no bookings for a Tuesday we will not be open.
We had a great morning playing golf for my 40th birthday with my husband and 7 year old son, brilliant course, staff are lovely and friendly, course has fun holes and 2 raft crossings and water features, good social distancing measures and being outside we felt safe. We didn't have time to stop for refreshments afterwards but the cakes looked lovely and the prices looked good. We are definitely coming back with friends soon and we'll stay for food afterwards. I would highly recommend this place xx

Fantastic place for a birthday party. Everyone had such a good time and have been raving about it ever since. Sarah and the lads were all really lovely and helpful - we had to cancel at short notice due to illness and then again because of lockdown and they were just so understanding. Some grown ups enjoyed a cuppa on the decking area, whilst others got stuck in with the kids. Cannot recommend Battlesports enough!
