THE SUFFOLK OWL SANCTUARY
The
Suffolk Owl Sanctuary at Stonham Barns in Suffolk is the
focal point of our organisation and provides a delightful
place to visit to watch, study or simply enjoy the company
of Owls and other birds of prey.
There are over 60 raptors at the Centre, all housed in
spacious aviaries and flying free in narrated flying
displays or demonstrations.
You will also find Red Squirrels, the Raptor Hospital, The
Barclays Sensory Garden, an information centre about Owls,
a woodland walk with bird hide, picnic areas and plenty of
activities for children including a mini-maze &
adventure frame, plus the famous Owl Barn Gift Shop at
Stonham.
The
Suffolk Owl Sanctuary is supported by voluntary donations
and admission charges from members of the visiting public.
Please note that we are WHOLLY RELIANT on these donations
and admission charges for the upkeep of the Centre, the
welfare of the birds and the funding of our many education,
conservation and rehabilitation projects. All monies
collected are used only for this purpose.
