Hello! The alpacas were sheared on the 11th April and, having kindly donated their fleeces, they are now enjoying the sunshine in their much lighter coats. Now that they’ve had a little time to settle and adjust, the Meet & Mingle experiences are up and running again.
You can book online as usual, but if you have something a little different in mind, you’re very welcome to get in touch. For bespoke visits, please call Kathleen on 07796 692952 or complete the bespoke request form.
I look forward to welcoming you to the farm!
Meet & mingle experience
Spend up to 45 relaxed minutes meeting our alpacas, feeding them their favourite treats, and learning a little about their personalities and life on the farm. There’s plenty of time to simply watch and enjoy their company, take photos, and even see (and feel!) their beautifully soft fibre and the yarn we produce from it.
Ashtonelle Alpacas is a small, working farm first and foremost, so everything you see is part of real day-to-day life here. That means visits are informal, flexible, and shaped around what’s happening on the farm (and what the alpacas feel like doing!).
Your visit is private to your group (up to 10 people), so you’ll have the space to enjoy the experience at your own pace.
Treats (for the alpacas!) are included.
Visits are seasonal and usually run from late April through to the end of September/early October. Please take a moment to read our Booking Terms & Conditions before confirming your booking.
Children are very welcome, but all under 18s must be accompanied by an adult and supervised at all times.
As this is a working farm, sturdy footwear is essential (no open-toed shoes), and we recommend dressing for the weather—it can be surprisingly windy here!
For the safety and wellbeing of our animals, dogs are not permitted on the farm.
A suggested donation of £8 per person applies (children under 4 go free so no need to include them in your booking).
