Herrings Green Farm

We had 3 hours today in Colchester at the kings arms with some of the amazing birds, it was great to be able to hold the birds and learn so much about them, the keeper was amazing and she did an amazing job, she was funny, informative and basically just lovely x thank you for a lovely afternoon getting to know your birds x Sarah & Claire x we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

Just back from an epic day at the Herring Green farm. My family and I had booked my husband an eagle experience which I would highly recommend. The falconer Erin was fantastical she took time to show us so many of the eagle and some eagle owls. My husband held and flew the massive beautiful birds and really enjoyed his experience. We had young children with us and there was lots to play on and keep them amused. All staff were very welcoming and friendly We went on a Sunday and it was very quiet which was perfect for us to look around.

Nice place with many animals and opportunity to purchase some farm stock..

Fairly run down. The bird handling experience was good, as was the flying display. But the place in general looks a bit sorry for itself, lots of disrepair noticeable. Wandering around the activity farm felt a bit sad.

Brilliant day out at Herring Green Farm. Everyone nice to me and my wife! Young girl in cafe was especially nice. I would certainly recommend this establishment to everyone planning on visiting! Thanks for your hospitality Herring Green staff!

A special experience with the birds of prey. Carly was excellent and ensured everyone had equal time with each bird even though there were quite a few in the group. Definitely recommend .

On the positive side -The woman that did the display was fantastic. She really knew her stuff, she answered everyone’s questions and was entertaining. - Lots of amazing beautiful birds when we walked around in cages and used in the display. - They released lot of birds at a time to music which was really good to see so many flying at the same time. On the negative side - The receptionist was rude to all 4 of us when we arrived. She was clearly annoyed she had given us 4 stickers before our 2 other friends had arrived, like we’d deceived her for some reason ! She also denied telling us to wait in the field as the display had started elsewhere. We all very negative about the place before we’d even started. - The display group was far too big. We were in a group of 28 people so when the birds were being passed around we waited for ages before we could hold the birds. Also taking part in the displays took ages to include everyone. So became very boring which was a shame because the display was good otherwise. Overall, good quality but needs to be smaller groups 1/2 the time, and better reception.

A lovely place for a range of ages
