Description

**PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT WILL NOW TAKE PLACE WITHIN THE BEACON ARTS CENTRE DUE TO WEATHER FORECAST**

As part of Galoshans 2025 X Feral Takeover Programme

Enter the gentle world of the silent bird and her human guide as they make their way through the Galoshans Street Party.

With a majestic 5 metre wingspan, the Barn Owl is sure to create a stir with her impressive fly-past. The barn owl glides above the heads of the crowd whilst the caller encourages her to stop to share words of owl wisdom, and greetings with the crowd.

Who knows? They might have their own special dance that they can share with you.
