​
​
What’s included:
​
-
The walk will begin with a mandatory Safety briefing to ensure everyone knows how to stay safe with their Alpaca during the experience.
-
This will be followed by an introduction to Alpacas with information about where they originate, what their diet is like, their fleece and some other titbits most people don't know!
-
Then alpaca walkers will spend a few moments getting to know their alpaca with a mini meet and greet session, feeding some treats and getting ready for the walk!
-
The walk will last around 45 minutes, however alpacas are quite curious animals and may want to explore their surroundings. There will be time for photos and giving snacks.
What might you need to bring?
​
-
In order to remain safe (but mainly dry) you will need sturdy wellies or boots, warm clothes and suitable waterproofs for our great British weather. No umbrellas please the Alpacas haven't yet worked out what an umbrella is! Even if it is sunny outside, the ground may still be wet and slippy.
-
In summer we advise to bring suncream for those hot sunny days. Make sure to bring water and stay hydrated. There will be an opportunity for you to purchase refreshments from the cafe during opening times - pre-booking is required.
-
Although we are not put off by rain, we reserve the right to reschedule bookings if we feel it is too extreme, or unsuitable for a walk.
-
We're sorry but we cannot allow dogs to accompany us on our walk.
Late arrivals
​
-
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the start of your experience. If you are more than 10 minutes late you will not be able to take part as you will have missed our mandatory Safety talk. Please allow plenty of time for your journey as we would be unable to allow latecomers to join the walking group.
​​
Spectators
-
If someone wants to walk with a full paying adult or child they will need to purchase a ‘spectators’ ticket, which is £10.
​​
​
Cancellations
