Twit – Twoo Competition and Owls at Sunset!

Following our recent visit to Phil Yeomans wonderful Avenue Restaurant at Lainston House, the team came back to the office buzzing and one of the stories they brought back with them was of the wonderful Owls that are kept in the aviary in the Kitchen Gardens.

Resident Falconer, Billy Taylor has trained two of the barn owls to fly down the aisle, silently, with wedding rings for the bride and groom. Not only that, Lainston can also arrange for one of the most unique proposals we have ever heard of – with the owl delivering a velvet box, on cue, as the ‘proposer’ goes down on one knee! For details click here.

The aviary is hugely popular at Lainston and back by popular demand on Friday 14th June is the magical ‘Owls at Sunset’ event.

With 63 acres of Hampshire countryside at their disposal the birds are spectacular to watch in full flight and you are also invited to get up close and personal with the beautiful birds of prey including Benji and Bella, the Bengal eagle owls, Harris hawks Lottie and Jacob and Barn owls Mumble and Chaco. 

The event is £35 per person and includes a 2 course supper. Meet at 7pm with supper served at 8pm
