Whilst visiting the area for a short break we made a stop at the owl sanctuary on our last morning and we are so glad that we did! As it was just open we were the only people there and Malcolm kindly showed us round all of the birds in the sanctuary, telling us a bit about each of them. Over 70 different birds, including owls, peregrine falcons, eagles and other birds of prey which were so lovely to see. Malcolm and the other volunteers are all clearly very passionate about the birds and their care and Malcolms knowledge was amazing. Surprisingly the sanctuary is free to enter and they rely on donations to help care for all the birds so if you visit please give generously to them as they are doing a great job. Definitely worth a visit for both kids and adults alike as we were a group of 4 adults and loved it! The sanctuary is fairly small so is not somewhere you would spend several hours but is certainly worth a visit for an hour or a little longer . Keep up the great work and we will definitely visit again next time we are in the area! Just a note, park at the end of festival park and walk down as can be a bit fiddly to find but it's most definitely worth it.

I had my daughter's 7th Birthday party on Saturday at the Eden centre and what a good experience it was in the current times. She had a lovely time playing with her friends, it went smoothly and the staff was brilliant especially our party planner. We have had one there for the last 3 years running and would recommend to anyone looking to book a party they do everything and are very helpful.
