Festive Falconry

1066 Battle of Hastings, Abbey and Battlefield

East Sussex

Join Raphael Falconry as they re-create the role of royal falconers and hawkers at Christmas time in Plantagenet England. Hunting with trained birds of prey was the favourite winter sport of medieval kings and nobles, but it was also an activity essential to the supply of fresh game for the Christmas Feast. Learn how hawks were trained to catch specific birds and animals for the royal table. Plus learn about the seasonal traditions of medieval falconers and the history of some of our most popular Christmas birds.
