Kids' Craft Workshops 

We're so excited to welcome you for our bumper crop of activities this coming Easter Holiday (South Glos school holidays). Mel cannot wait to get baking and decorating with the children! Craft-Karen is bringing back the suncatchers and dreamcatchers as well as decorating our much loved clay shapes - this time to make a long 'dangler'. Kat's going to be working with you on some wet felting, jumbo alpaca pompoms, spring plant pots and treasure chests. She's been liaising with the dragon community and will be bringing some little dragons with their own famous legends from around the world, to visit the Holiday Trail boxes. More info to follow on the Events page soon! dragons

New Dragon Trail

The boxes are back! We love a dragon, so have hatched some to tell their tales from across the globe this April. Sweep through European, Aftican and Asian stories of these mystical beasts from through the ages. Which one will be Welsh-wonder Mel's favourite (probably a red one!)? £2.50 per trail sheet and you can solve the scrambled egg letters to give our staff the word, they'll reward your successful quest with a small prize pack. The dragons are all well trained, but please ensure little hands leave thier homes alone, we don't want any mishaps!

 

Kids' Farming & Feeding Experiences

Sessions added on Tuesday 7th, Thursday 9th, Tuesday 14th and Thursday 16th April 2026. 

Children spend time getting close to the alpacas by feeding them. We may begin behind a fence so everyone can build trust and feel comfortable. Along the way, we chat about how we keep the alpacas healthy and take part in simple practical jobs such as raking away old hay and putting out fresh hay. 

This is a fun, hands‑on session designed entirely around the participating children. Supervising adults are very welcome to take photos of their little ones.

Duration: 30–40 minutes Price: £10 per child Adult supervision: One adult may supervise up to two children (no charge for adults). During busy sessions, we can only allow one adult per two children into the activity area.

What to wear: Wellies or waterproof shoes, and weather‑appropriate clothing. Please avoid open‑toe sandals, crocs, or flip‑flops.

Wolfridge Alpaca Wins Champion Small Breeder at the National Alpaca Show

Wolfridge Alpaca Stud has celebrated major success at the British Alpaca Society National Show in March 2026, with all eight alpacas entered achieving a placing and the farm being awarded Champion Small Breeder

Highlights: 2nd Place: Sibillini, Fraser    3rd Place: Rubin, Flossie, Lyra

A standout moment was Fraser taking 2nd place in the Black Junior Huacaya Male class — a family favourite named by the Hyslops’ young son (after himself!).

The team was supported by volunteers Nic and Mick Dore, with Mick (seen here with Fraser) assisting Craig in the show ring.

Alpaca Babies

We are celebrating our most successful breeding season yet, with 14 alpacas born across the farm in summer 2025. The arrival of the new cria (baby alpacas) marks a record for us, with our previous total of eight in one 'unpacking' season. We first began breeding alpacas in 2018, opened the Barn to the public in 2022 and have brought mums and cria to the Barn for the first time in 2025. This year's boys are now weaned from thier mums and can be seen in the paddocks in front of the cafe. The mums and girls are all currently at our farm site, safe and sound! 

Unpacking season will restart this summer, we are hoping for even more this year - watch this space for Baby Watch and follow our socials @wolfridge_alpaca facebook.com/WolfridgeAlpaca
