With over 50 years’ experience, we’ve provided falconry insurance to various businesses across the UK, helping to keep your business soaring by protecting you, your assets and the general public.
This insurance policy is suitable for people and businesses who are looking to cover their liability to the public whilst providing falconry services, including flying displays. It is not suitable for people wishing to cover private pleasure flying of their birds or veterinary costs in relation to the birds.
There are two main types of insurance you need if you run a falconry and raptor displays business. Both are included in our insurance policy.
Public liability – designed to protect you against liability claims for injury caused to third parties or damage to their property as a result of your negligence. For instance, if a member of the audience is accidentally struck by a bird.
The standard limit is £5 million, but it can be extended to £10 million for an additional premium.
Products liability – this covers the club up to £5 million if injuries or damages arise as a result of a defective product that your business had supplied.
This policy will also cover businesses who offer a small amount of pest control services.
Employers’ liability – if you have paid, voluntary or self-employed helpers working for your business, you are legally required to have this insurance as this will provide cover should they suffer an injury while at work. The amount of cover provided is £10 million.
Personal accident – provides financial compensation should the insured party be injured while carrying out business activities. You can choose from benefits of up to £250 per week. This section includes a lump sum compensation for accidental death, permanent loss of sight and/or limbs and total disablement. Please note that this does not cover any pre-existing conditions or illness, or any injury sustained whilst commuting to or from work.
Professional indemnity – protects your business should you offer professional advice for a fee, such as being asked to advise on bird behaviour, and it results in either a physical or financial loss. The resultant claims can be covered up to a standard of £500,000, however we are now able to offer lower levels of cover (£100,000 and £250,000) at reduced premiums.
Equipment and property – we can cover your organisation’s property and equipment, from small items to large. We are also able to arrange cover for commercial premises, business interruption, theft of money and your home.
Legal expenses - this is designed to protect you from unexpected legal costs arising from business risks. Find out more.

DWAA – Animals listed on the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976
I joined the Cliverton family 6 years ago and work in the Kennel and Cattery Team (which I love!) We all share the same passion here to help animals (and their owners!).
Outside work, life mainly revolves around the multitude of rescue animals that have shared our home over the years. Current residents include two naughty Jack Russells, a contented ex feral cat, a Houdini hamster, two chinchillas in their senior years, a budgie and two elusive pond fish. The door is always open! I also enjoy running to fundraise for various charities and have just begun open water swimming.
