Ryde is an English seaside town and civil parish on the Isle of Wight, with a population of 23,999 at the 2011 Census. It lies on the north-east coast.

I treated my wife (and myself) to the "Owl Experience", It was brilliant, We got to fly and get really up close with 4 different owls, Chloe was our host & handler, assisted by Jodie, Chloe knows her stuff when it comes to birds of prey, and being a Northerner has a great sense of humour, Jodie was great with both us, and the birds and it's clear both enjoy what they do immensely, they're both a credit to the Falconry, welcoming & informative. We will be returning next time we're down that neck of the woods to try the other experiences, they're great value for a couple and you really do get to see them at their best, and will probably learn something new, questions are invited after every different type of bird.

What a lovely shop, good selection of decorations, I did find some of the items a bit pricey, I appreciate the craft that has gone into some of the decorations others are bought in. Dogs are welcome, we did carry our little dog just so the tail did not create havoc, plus I don't think I would be able to afford to pay for the damage she could have created. I am sure the shop is even more magical in December.
