Alpaca Experience Morning £65 for Two People - Vouchers available for Presents!
This is not alpaca walking!! Its so much more!

Maybe handling the weanlings, if its the right time of year, and getting them used to people ready for the shows. You will need to wear appropriate clothes and boots that are waterproof and sturdy.
