Wednesday Evenings

Owl Prowls

Every Wednesday evening you will have an opportunity to visit Acton Court in a special and magical way when experienced members of the South Gloucestershire Hawk and Owl Trust will conduct talks and nature walks around the grounds. There are three varieties of owl on the Acton Court site and these are often (though not guaranteed) to be seen or heard in the evenings.
All proceeds to the The Hawk and Owl Trust
