Vowley Falcon Racing Welcome to Vowley, the Home of British Falcon Racing!

A fantastic video featuring two of our Junior competitors from this year’s British Falcon Races at Vowley.

A huge congratulations to Eli, who made a little piece of Vowley history by coming first in the Junior Hunt Race! 🏆

But the biggest congratulations has to go to every one of our Junior competitors who took part this year. The enthusiasm, sportsmanship and standard of flying we saw from the youngsters was fantastic, and it was brilliant to see so many young falconers getting involved.

The Junior races are about much more than winning. They’re about encouraging the next generation, giving them their own competition and creating an opportunity for young falconers.

A massive thank you to Wingbeat Rofalconry and Honeybrook Animal Foods for sponsoring and supporting our Junior competitors this year. Their support helped us make the Junior classes a really special part of the weekend.

And finally, thank you to the parents, families, mentors and everyone else who helped get our Juniors and their falcons to the start line.

These photos really capture one of the things we’re most proud of at Vowley — the next generation of falconers.

This year we had nearly 40 junior race entries, competing across both the Junior Flat Race and Junior Hunt Race. Seeing so many young falconers taking part, handling their own birds, working together as teams and competing with such enthusiasm was a real highlight of the weekend.

We’ve always believed that if falconry is going to have a strong future, we need to give young people the opportunity to become properly involved. Junior racing isn’t simply an add-on to the senior competition at Vowley; it’s an important part of what we’re trying to build. It gives young falconers their own categories in which to develop their skills, gain experience and, most importantly, enjoy competing alongside others their own age.

A huge thank you must go to Honeybrook Animal Foods who sponsored the Junior Flat Race, and Wingbeat Rofalconry who sponsored the Junior Hunt Race. Their support helps us continue to invest in junior racing and encourage more young people to get involved.

Judging by the numbers this year, the future is looking very encouraging. Some fantastic young falconers, some excellent falcons and plenty of competitive spirit — exactly what we want to see.

Congratulations to every junior who competed at Vowley 2026. Whether you came away with a prize or not, you were an important part of a fantastic weekend.

Supporting the next generation of falconers.

VOWLEY 2026 – OFFICIAL RACE RESULTS

What an incredible weekend at Vowley!

Here are the official results from all six race categories at the British Falcon Races 2026 — Novice Flat, Open Flat, Junior Flat, Novice Hunt, Open Hunt and Junior Hunt.

A huge congratulations to all of our winners and placed competitors, and a massive thank you to everyone who entered and competed. With more than 130 race entries across the weekend, this was by far our biggest Vowley to date and quality of the falcons and falconers was exceptional.

We’d also like to thank our sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers, officials and everyone who came along to support the event. Over 600 people though the gates over the three days, without all of you, weekends like this simply wouldn’t be possible.

And finally, congratulations to every falconer, pilot, lure sw***er and team involved — we hope to see you all again next season.

Thank you for making Vowley 2026 one to remember.

WHAT AN AMAZING FIRST DAY AT VOWLEY 2026!

What a day! Fantastic racing, incredible falcons and a brilliant atmosphere from start to finish.

This is without question the biggest and busiest Vowley we’ve ever had, and it’s been fantastic to see so many competitors, spectators, exhibitors and supporters enjoying the event.

A huge thank you to everyone who raced today, everyone who helped behind the scenes, our sponsors and exhibitors, and of course everyone who came along to support us.

Some absolutely outstanding performances today — and we get to do it all again today.

VOWLEY 2026 – COMPETITOR UPDATE

It’s almost race day!

We’ve had more race entries than ever before this year, along with a record number of advance spectator tickets, and we’re looking forward to a fantastic weekend at Vowley.

A quick reminder for all competitors:

The Novice Flat Race starts promptly at 09:30 on Saturday, and we ask the first five competitors to be at the start gate and ready no later than 09:15.

Following the Novice Flat, there will be a short 10-minute break before we move straight into the Junior Flat Race, so junior competitors please keep an eye on the progress of the racing and be ready.

With so many entries this year, it’s really important that everyone keeps an eye on the running order and is ready when called.

Unfortunately, we cannot delay racing for competitors who are not ready at the gate. Anyone who misses their allocated position will be moved to the end of the running order so that racing can continue smoothly.

Hard copies of the running order will be available from the Race Office/Shop, which is also the location of the Wingbeat shop this year.

Thank you to everyone for your cooperation and for making this our biggest entry yet.

See you at Vowley! 🦅🏁
