A flying start for Game Festival

The hugely Lancashire Game and Country Festival takes place on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th September this year and back by popular demand in the Main Arena is Jonathan Marshall, with his unique and inspirational choreographed 'Free Spirit' horseback falconry performances. Jonathan is the world's leading horseback falconer, flying his elite birds of prey from highly trained Spanish and Friesian stallions.

Also up in the air will be Hawkeye Falconry – one of the UK's leading display teams - who concentrate on highlighting the birds' natural behaviour, while giving spectators of all ages the opportunity for a very close encounter with both the sport and the birds themselves.
