Tudor Falconer

With his loyal hawk by his side, Jean will guide you through the intricate and historic skills required for a successful hunt, offering a glimpse into the time when falconry was not just a sport, but a vital part of life for the elite.

Jean will demonstrate the training techniques used to prepare a hawk for work. Learn about the patience, precision, and knowledge required to train the bird and ensure it followed commands and performed well during a hunt. The process involved trust building and an understanding of the bird's natural instincts.

This immersive experience offers an unforgettable opportunity to explore a world where the hawk was not only a hunting companion but a symbol of status and power within the Tudor court.
