TURBARY WOODS OWL AND BIRD OF PREY SANCTUARY REVIEWS

Lovely place with very knowledgeable and dedicated volunteers who are clearly very passionate about the welfare of the birds in their care. We visited on a bank holiday weekend and enjoyed the show with the little owls. Some of the bigger ones were currently going through breeding season and the volunteers explained they won't fly them because they won't come back but they brought them out to show people and answered questions. Lovely day out. Highly recommend.

Turbary Wood Owl and Bird of Prey Sanctuary is a wonderful tranquil Place to visit, A real hidden gem. Lots of things to do and see while away for a few hours in a Green Eden oasis. With the bird's Hoots and cackles resonating around the woods mixed with the sound of native birds, keep. an eye out while wandering around as there may just be a fairy or two hiding in the woods. Perfect for both individuals and families.

What a lovely place. They keep the birds very well, and the staff are kind, friendly, and knowledgeable, and you get to hold some of the birds when they are doing the flight demonstration.

THE HARRIS REVIEWS

Brilliant museum and art gallery in Preston that's free to visit. It's got a great range of exhibits and a lovely cafe and shop. Nice to see the display of the great Tom Finney and the beautiful Caribbean exhibition. The interior decoration of the building is stunning in its own right.

Stimulating temporary exhibitions and an excellent permanent collection, including an impressive number of great paintings and fascinating exhibits covering local history

Super nice museum! It has a very nice atmosphere and a lovely cafe and library. Recommend!

LANCASHIRE INFANTRY MUSEUM REVIEWS

This is a hidden gem of a museum. It is full to the brim with fantastically curated, interestingly described and absolutely unique exhibits. The lovely guide who escorted us and explained the artefacts to us was fantastic and helped with our many questions. We had a genuinely superb visit.

Went here on a rainy Saturday afternoon and it was great. The volunteers were super informative and were happy to show you round and provided an added depth to the experience. The amount of artefacts they have is amazing to see. Would highly recommend. However make sure you take ID to be given a visitors pass for entry to the museum as it is on the barracks.

A fascinating museum about Lancashire soilders through history. They have a research side so you can search for family members who served with the regiments.
