It is a great way to have some one-on-one time with our alpacas, have a relaxing stroll in the countryside and get that perfect selfie!
Please note: Children under 10 can accompany on the walk experience and in some cases be able to walk their own alpaca depending on age, confidence, initiative etc. This is for the safety of the alpaca and the child. Children always need to be accompanied by full paying adults.

After your experience has ended, you can spend an additional hour with the alpacas whilst enjoying a wonderful picnic. Can be added on to any experience.

Bring Your Own
You can bring whatever you fancy to the farm although please note we will not allow disposable BBQs / use of flames.
There will be an additional charge of £10 on top of your group total to hire the picnic area for the extra hour.
Farm Animal Experiences:
For an additional £10 on top of your group total, you can extend your experience by another 30 - 45 minutes and have the chance to meet all our other animals too! We are lucky enough to be able to provide a home for some other more traditional farm animals who would welcome a bit of attention too! We pride ourselves on the gentle nature of our goats, the affectionate ways of our sheep and the entertainment our donkey and mini pony bring. Meeting them will really make your time with us unforgettable! Can be added onto any experience.
Painting Experiences
For those that are feeling creative and want to take a masterpiece home to remember the alpacas by! Can be added onto any experience. Each person will receive their own 20cm x 20cm canvas and be able to choose different paint colours to create patterns and shapes on it. The paint is then covered in a protective later of plastic and you'll be given a supply of feed as well. Using the feed to scatter on top of the plastic - as the alpacas eat it, they move the paint with their mouths and start to blend the colours to create art!
This experience is proving popular with special occassion bookings such as birthday or hen parties but it's great fun for smaller groups or date-days too!
Price:
Additional £10 p/p

Standard Vs Private Experiences
All of our experiences are available to book as either a standard or private experience.
Booking a standard experience means the session will likely be shared by other members of the public.
Private experiences allow a group to have the session to themselves without other members of the public.
The cost of a private experience will depend on when you'd like to book it for.
PRIVATE EXPERIENCES:
Weekday Experiences:
Additional £15 on top of group total. Groups of 7 people or more qualify for a private experience without additional charge.
Weekend and Bank Holiday Experiences:
Smaller groups (6 or less people): £140 for a Meet & Greet, £200 for a Walk Experience. Groups of 7 or more qualify for a private experience without additional charge.
Please note that private experiences are subject to availability.
Confirmation of prices will be presented at time of booking if further clarification needed.
Small Scale Events / Larger Parties
We are becoming increasingly popular for hosting hen dos, birthday parties, baby showers, anniversary parties etc outside of our usual experience set up.
If you're interested in hiring the farm for a private party - either during the day or after hours, please do get in touch!
We can usually create a bespoke experience for you or provide paddocks as a 'blank canvas' if you'd like to bring in outside suppliers and create your own event!
