It all takes place in an equestrian arena in the shadows of a certain Warwick Castle making for the perfect backdrop to your day of Medieval fun. Of course jousting wasn't just for fun back then.

Get ready to meet Loki on this raven experience! You don't have to go to the Tower of London to meet the ravens this cheeky chappy is a bonafide Essex resident & he loves nothing more than showing off in front of an audience! Ravens are one of the largest crows. Also known as one of the Corvus species they're easily distinguishable by their size their glossy black plumage & their rather impressive croaky call. Loki was named after the Norse god of mischief & trickery
- & the team will tell you that he certainly lives up to his name. Loki is a highly intelligent bird who was totally stealing the limelight during the falconry shows so much so that he has been given his very own experience. You'll meet lovely Loki the raven & really get to know him. He really is quite a character. He knows loads of tricks (playing the xylophone to let your handler know you're a bit peckish anyone?) & loves solving puzzles. He's super friendly too. He adores flying in & perching on your shoulder (especially when he thinks there's a chance he might be rewarded with a little titbit of food!) & relishes human interaction. He can be really quite a chatty raven & will have you completely enthralled. In essence Loki is a real crowd pleaser & entertainer. These raven experiences give you around 30-minutes with the star turn Loki. You'll be in a small group of up to six people & every session is hosted by a member of the falconry team. As well as meeting & interacting with Loki you'll learn lots about ravens their characteristics & habitats too. Sessions generally run in the afternoons so book your slot to play with Loki now!
