Falconry Displays

Here is a special picture of Bleheim Palace before we start our days activities – two three day events per summer – in the Jousting arena with the The Knights of Royal England.

We have always tried to present a themed falconry display with costume because falconry was a glue that binded medieval scociety together.

The jousting event at Blenheim reenacts an occasion important to the Palace itself. More of a family occasion and this is reflected in the birds of prey displays with the presence of watching families and our Eagle Owl ‘Bo’ gliding with mixture of beauty and stealth as she drifts over the heads of the audience – amazing!
