Alpaca Experience Morning  £65 for Two People - Vouchers available for Presents!

So much more than alpaca walking!
​Ideal for all those who love alpacas and want to know more about them. A great idea for a Birthday or Christmas present, perhaps a Mothers Day treat.  Join Karen as she goes about her morning activities with the alpacas. Feeding and haying up, watering and general health checks around the farm. Depending on the time of year this may include caring for the females with their cria, perhaps seeing a birth and all that that entails, or joining in with a weekly husbandry task, such as weighing or condition scoring - get your hands on as much as you would like!  Maybe halter training the weanlings and getting them used to handling ready for the shows, and you may get to take an alpaca for a walk through the woods on the farm if you wish. You need to wear appropriate clothes and boots. The visit will usually last for 2 hours and start around 9.00/10.00 am. Tea or coffee with biscuits included.  £40 for the first person and then £25 for every additional person. Children 7-16  £10 each. Please contact for a Booking Form.

Half Day Courses £60
