Alpaca Farming & Feeding Experience This experience is for children age 4 to 11 years old. We spend time getting close to the alpacas by feeding them, either with scoops or out of hands- depending on what the young person is comfortable with. We start from behind a fence so the children can build their confidence with the alpacas. We talk about what the alpacas need to keep them healthy and do some of the practical jobs such as raking up old hay and putting fresh hay out. This is a super fun and practical session with the entire focus on the participating children. Supervising adults are very welcome to take photographs of their little ones!
The experience lasts for around 30 to 40 minutes and costs £9 per child. We ask that one adult supervises a maximum of two children. There is no charge for the adult. In busy sessions, we can only allow one adult per two children in to the session. Appropriate footwear (wellies or water proof shoes) and clothing (water-proofs if a chance of rain) are required. Please do not wear open-toe sandals, crocs or flip-flops.
The session is available most Saturday mornings and also in school holidays.

Family or Private Group ExperienceThis is a private session for you and your family or group. We can tailor the session to your needs and interests and spend longer on the things you choose to. For example, if someone has a birthday, they can spend longer handling the alpacas or choose which alpacas we spend more time with. If you are interested in owning alpacas we can discuss more specific elements of farming alpacas and the husbandry jobs required.
Sessions cost:
The experience takes around 45 to 65 minutes, depending on the group size.
Midday is the available time to book online. Please email info@wolfridgealpaca.co.uk if you are keen to book another time of the day. If you have a larger group and are also considering an afternoon tea or craft workshop, please also email us at info@wolfridgealpaca.co.uk.
We require one adult for every two children age 4 to 12 years old. Unfortunately this experience is not suitable for children aged 3 and under.

Up Close ExperienceGet hands on with our lovely alpacas! 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 and feed them out of scoops/your hands. We also spend some time learning about what makes alpacas special, in terms of both their fibre and the animal itself. You can ask any questions you might have about alpacas and of course get some fun photos!
The experience takes around 50 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the group (maximum of 8 people). This Experience is not suitable for children under the age of 10 years old. Please see the Farming & Feeding Experience for younger ones, or book a Family/Private Group Experience.
For this experience the cost is £20 per person.

Wolfridge Alpaca Wander (information trail- available all year round)
Take a wander around the paddocks and learn about why alpacas are special! A map and quiz is available from the café for £1. The walk will take around 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on how fast you walk and how much stopping and alpaca watching you do! The route is mostly on grass so suitable footwear is required (especially in the winter months). There is no need to book prior to visiting if you just want to have a wander and enjoy something delicious from our café.
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. This experience is not recommended for younger children.
The Alpaca Fibre Experience can form the basis of a longer educational session for school age children. Please get in touch to discuss your age group, group size, learning objectives and time constraints.
