Our Alpaca Edu Workshop is designed with home educators and families in mind and offers an active-learning, outdoor based experience for young people to engage with these gentle, inquisitive creatures. We offer a range of learning activities which are easily tailored to meet the needs of a range of ages or for those whose needs are special, to engage in farm life in a fun, non-threatening and inclusive environment. This 2 ½ hour workshop offers opportunities for personal development and confidence building as well as activities that can easily fit into curriculum requirements, all with links to the history and care of alpacas.

Whether this is a one off visit or an ongoing experience, we are happy to work with you to select from our range of activities or to develop a custome-built plan to meet your specific needs or the needs of those in your care.

What to expect: We cater to small groups with a maximum of 6 people as we believe this works well for those involved, for our animals and for our facilities. Our workshops take place outside in the paddocks, in our stables and in a conservatory and marque classroom.

This is an outdoor experience so dress for the weather and wear sensible footwear. NO open toes shoes are allowed. A short walk from the car park is required with some uneven terrain. For those with accessibility concerns, we are able to take vehicles directly to our paddock area but please check in advance to arrange appropriate accessibility. A health & safety briefing is provided. This is a guided interactive experience. For supervision purposes, we require that one parent/adult attends for every 3 learners booked. There is no charge for the accompanying adult.

· Introduction to the World of Alpacas
