Falconry
How often do you get to see a free-flying falconry show? How about never … except at the Central Coast Renaissance Festival.
The Tudor monarchs of England, particularly Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, were known for
their love of falconry. They kept their own falconers and spent a great deal of money on their birds. In fact, Elizabeth I had her own personal falconer, Roger Harris, who trained her birds and accompanied her on hunting trips.
At the Central Coast Renaissance Festival, falconry stage shows include flights over the audience with hawks, falcons, and owls, demonstrations of training, and ancient hunting techniques still used today. At the booth, you will have photo and question opportunities, husbandry and care demonstrations, and an offering of individual, 1:1 interaction with raptors and Master Falconers.
