We booked an excellent 'hawk walk' experience though Virgin for 3/4 hour. Just the two of us (in our 50s) and and the knowledgeable keeper Ross. We took a stroll to the falconry arena area then on to the public parkland/woods down the lane, with the harris hawk freely following by choice. We had the hawk land on our hand about 5 times each from the posts and trees. The experience includes entry to the falconry which is much bigger and better than we expected - loads of birds (including owls and vultures), and meerkats, skunks, racoons and ferrets - so spent the few hours there. All had great enclosures and were well looked after. Saw an impressive flight demonstration show in the arena too for about half an hour - not just the usual birds of prey - a little owl, kookaburra and cute running/jumping seriema too. The falconry centre is part of a big garden centre complex including a restaurant, cafe, farm shop, clothing, and a few outdoor farm animals (alpacas, rhea, goats) so you can make a whole day out. There's even a soft play, carousel and playground for young ones (though limited opening in Aug due to covid). Superb, and surpassed our expectations!!

Our courses are suitable for all experience levels. From half-day introductions to residential programmes, dinner party master classes to children's courses, there's something for everyone.
Well COVID was in danger of Kiboshing my daughter Alices birthday. However our day spent with Mikey and Mark our chefs at a one day cookery class at the Manoir pulled triumph out of the jaws of defeat. We were treated like royalty and were privileged to receive such great tuition and culinary encouragement. Absolutely brilliant experience and I am one extremely grateful parent.

I got this for my wife as a birthday present, as she'd always wanted to have a go. Viv was wonderful, giving just the right level of help, without taking over. A really wonderful experience

Award winning, quirky paint your own pottery cafe filled with plenty of creative activities for adults and children. A good selection of pottery items to choose from before painting it how you like, maybe a hand and footprint of your baby/child, decopatch anything from photo frames to piggy banks. Indulge yourself with delicious home made cake and artisan teas and barista coffees. We have two studio rooms, one on the first floor and the party room on the second floor, so plenty of seating for everyone. So whether you just want to pop in for a coffee, meet friends for tea and cake or bring the family in for some craft activities we have room for you all and you are all welcome at Busy Brush Cafe. We even have free wifi so if you're planning on a 'work from home day' and want to escape home, we have become the 'second home' for a number of Wallingford locals. We look forward to your visit.
We called in for a tea and cake on a wet afternoon. What a delightful place. Lovely pot of real tea and yummy cakes beautifully served with china teapot, cups and plates. A family were painting mugs and clearly enjoying themselves, unfortunately as we were only passing through we didn’t have time to join them. It’s a tiny place on 3 floors and they might do better to make it clear outside that there is plenty of seating, and they don’t do only takeaways.

Wilderness Pioneers provides first class outdoor education and training in bushcraft, survival and wilderness skills for all ages. Join our highly experienced instructors as they share their knowledge and experience and learn skills from all over the world whilst gaining an amazing insight into our natural world.
We spent a weekend in the woods with Manse and Mark learning basic bushcraft and survival skills, and I cannot recommend this enough. We learnt how to make fire, purify and sterilise water, prepare food, pick shelter & make rope amongst other things. Manse and Mark have huge wealth of knowledge between them, and deliver the course in a fun and informative way, and it was surprisingly comfortable and relaxing to sleep in a hammock in the woods. Oh and the food is great, we had a roast dinner on Saturday night cooked over an open fire!! I thoroughly enjoyed this weekend and came out completely relaxed, I would recommend to everyone. Thanks guys - hope to see you again.....
