    Disability ethos

    We believe that by creating an environment free from barriers and obstacles we can ensure our facilities, services and the environment are fully accessible to all. We want everyone to enjoy their visit to the sanctuary and endeavour to make everything accessible and visible.

    We pride ourselves on the work we do with people with all special needs including those with visual and sensory impairment. Many individuals and groups are given a unique experience and the opportunity to use tactile sensory stimulation by touching and feeling the owls.
