Join us in Rutland, UK on 11, 12 & 13 July 2025

We are delighted to announce our return to Global Birdfair 2025, taking place from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th July at the beautiful Lyndon Top near Rutland Water. You’ll find Falkland Islands Holidays in the Robin Marquee, Stands R95 & R96, nestled between our friends at Falklands Conservation (R94) and the Falkland Islands Tourist Board (R97).

We are all looking forward to being part of this important event and, of course, to chatting to you all about your interests and holiday plans for 2025 and beyond. Please do join us in the Robin Marquee, where we will be happy to chat about all things Falkland Islands related.  The big deck chair will be back; delicious cakes are back and this year we have three 20 minute talks and activities for the younger visitor and the young at heart.
