Hawkeye Falconry Christmas Market

Even before recorded history, our ancestors flew birds of prey. From the Steppes of Asia, to medieval Europe, from five thousand years ago to the present day, Falconry has become a way of life for Falconers around the world. Whether or not you have experienced Falconry before, you will get a chance to handle these magnificent creatures, letting them fly from your gloved hand and returning to feed. It is a profound experience to interact so closely with a hunting animal.

At Hawkeye Falconry Ireland, they are totally dedicated to this Ancient Sport of Kings. This, the noblest of all field sports, gives you the unique opportunity to personally fly, handle, feed and interact with some of their trained Hawks and Owls. They adhere to a very high standard of Falconry and only use practising Falconers for all our services.

Hawkeye Falconry Ireland provides Falconry experiences on the beautiful grounds of Lyrath Estate in Kilkenny.

Falconry Experience Gift Voucher

Give the gift of Falconry this Christmas, now more than ever life experiences are worth so much more than material things. At Hawkeye falconry they offer you the private experience of a lifetime on the stunning grounds of the 5 star Lyrath Estate hotel in Kilkenny.

Your Private Falconry Experience will begin with an introduction to the Hawk you are about to fly. The falconer will brief you on a five thousand year history of the ancient art of falconry. You will set off on a walk as your hawk follows you, watching your every move. Your falconer will teach you how to recall the hawk from the tree tops to your gloved hand and send him back to the trees again.

During the walk, your falconer will work with you to ensure you get some amazing photo and video opportunities as you call the hawk several times to your gloved hand. To finish up your falconry experience, you will be introduced to one, or possibly two of the owls. As you fly the owl, your falconer will teach you about the species and their habitat. The owls are super cute, photogenic and love to take selfies with guests.
