We also welcome Worldwide international orders - you simply pay the additional shipping costs.  We also offer wholesale/trade accounts.  Please contact us for further details.

Alpaca Experience Diary: 

In light of the coronavirus outbreak we have reluctantly decided to cancel the Alpaca Experience for April and May 2020. We reviewed options for implementing additional sanitizing and distancing measures, but we couldn’t be 100% confident that these would be successful.

As the situation is so uncertain, we are proposing that we don’t re-book your event booking date at this stage as we may end up having to move it again. Instead we will re-visit the situation at the beginning of May. If it looks promising then we will contact you to book your new event date.

We will stay in touch and post updates on our Facebook page. Please follow us here to get the latest information:
