What to expect
Arrive to find alpacas and donkeys in an open arena setting—they're accustomed to visitors and calm during interactions. You'll rotate through activity stations: painting wooden ornaments at craft tables, writing letters at a designated station (replies arrive by post), and visiting the grotto to meet Father Christmas flanked by alpacas in reindeer gear. The petting shed houses smaller, gentler animals for hands-on time. An undercover area keeps everyone dry; a café operates separately. Mini treks are bookable as upgrades. The whole experience flows at a leisurely pace suitable for young children and mixed physical abilities.
Good to know
The venue is fully wheelchair accessible and accommodates prams. Dress warmly as some areas are outdoors. The café operates independently if you want hot drinks or snacks beyond what's included. Mini treks incur additional cost. Book ahead during peak festive weeks.
