Suffolk Owl Sanctuary

Stonham Barns, Pettaugh Road, Stonham Aspal , Suffolk, IP14 6AT

Suffolk Owl Sanctuary offers the opportunity to meet over 80 stunning owls and fascinating birds of prey from around the world.

There are two flying displays daily, at 11.30 and 2.30 (weather permitting), and visitors are always welcome to chat with our friendly staff all about owls, meet our mob of cheeky Meerkats, fascinating Hairy Armadillos and African Crested Porcupines during the special daily talks. For youngsters, a visit provides a chance to take the S.O.S. Safari trail, with a prize for them all.

Admission is with a come-&-go ticket so you can visit the interesting shops and other attractions at Stonham Barns Park and return to us throughout the day as often as you wish.
