OWL AND BIRD OF PREY SANCTUARY REVIEWS
A beautiful setting for a fabulous experience with these beautiful creatures. Owls, falcons, kites, eagles in perfect health cared for a team of dedicated, friendly keepers. All are extremely knowledgeable and keen to share their passion for the birds. The display was done in a way that was engaging, humourous and every opportunity was given to interact with the birds.
If you are looking for a relaxing day out, then I can certainly recommend Turbary Woods. There are lots of varieties of birds, some of which we have never seen before. You can tell they are loved are cared for with a passion. The flying display is just amazing. The whole place is run by volunteers and they all love the birds and the work they are doing There are treasure hunts for children which are also fun for adults. We had a lovely few hours here and will definitely be going back.
Fantastic experience. Caroline at the reception/shop made my grandchildren's day. The flying of the hawk's/ falcons/ owl's was great. especially when my grandsons were able to hold the birds. Will definitely be going back. And well done to all the staff as they are all volunteers.

LANCASHIRE INFANTRY MUSEUM REVIEWS
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.
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.
Can't rate the guys here highly enough. Thanks to them I found out so much about my Great Uncle and his service on D-Day and in Normandy that we had no idea about. They also helped us apply for his war records. Many thanks.
