Up Close Experience

Get hands on with the lovely alpacas at Wolfrdige Farm!  Depending on what you are comfortable with, you can learn how to hold an alpaca; do basic health checks; look closely and feel for yourself the amazing fibre; feed them out of scoops/your hand; ask any questions you might have about alpacas and of course get some fun photos!

The experience takes around 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the group (maximum of 8 people).  Children (4 to 15yrs old) need to be accompanied by a paying adult.  This experience is not suitable for children 3 years old and under.

For this experience the cost is £15 per adult and £9 per child (4 to 15yrs old).

Alpaca Fibre Experience (available from 1st March to 31st October)

Alpacas are very special animals.  They are intelligent, inquisitive and gentle herd animals and each one has an individual personality.  However it is their fibre, known simply as "alpaca" that is the really special thing about them!  In this experience, you will look closely at alpaca fibre on the animal and at some sheared fleeces (off the alpaca).  Learn about the variables that affect the quality of alpaca yarn and why alpaca fibre is so soft and luxurious!  Crafters in particular will enjoy this session.

This experience takes around 45 to 50 minutes and is ideal to combine with a craft workshop.  The session costs £15 per adult and £9 per child (8 to 15yrs old).  This experience is not recommended for younger children.
