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. The session costs £15 per adult and £9 per child (8 to 15yrs old). 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.

Please note that the Up Close Experience is only available to book online from March 2024. If you have some vouchers, and a group of 4 or more people, we can arrange an Experience over the winter months by email. Please contact us via info@wolfridgealpaca.co.uk. This is due to the likelihood of inclement weather over the winter months and the need to have a single point of contact to communicate with/rearrange the whole group.
Please contact us if you are concerned about a voucher expiring.
