The Suffolk Owl Sanctuary
Established as a registered charity in 2001, the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary is based at Stonham Aspal in Suffolk, where it operates a comprehensive facility for the care & rehabilitation of owls from the region and the promotion of owl conservation throughout the UK and beyond. There are over 70 raptors at the Centre, all housed in spacious aviaries. The Sanctuary hosts spectacular flying displays daily between April and the end of September, where some of the world's most beautiful birds of prey show off their aerial prowess. You will also find Red Squirrels, Chipmunks, 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. Why not try one of our Unique SOS Birthday Parties, where the children will spend time close-up with the Owls, enjoy some special owlish fun & games, go on the S.O.S. Owl Safari, have a photograph taken with an Owl and receive a special goody-bag, plus we'll provide an Adopt-an-Owl Certificate for the lucky boy or girl. Our Adopt-an-Owl scheme also runs all year round and adopters can come to see their adopted owl any time at The Sanctuary. Stonham Barns itself is a great place to spend the day - there are numerous craft & gift shops, a garden centre, driving range & 9-hole golf course and a coffee shop & restaurant, plus plenty of free parking and many traffic-free areas. ??The Suffolk Owl Sanctuary Stowmarket at Stonham Barns is situated on the A1120 Tourist route, easily accessible from the A14, A12 and A140 - simply follow the brown signs.
