Open Days

Why Open Days? 

We are passionate about the health and well-being of all alpacas and have quickly gained a reputation for giving neglected and unwanted alpacas a second chance of life. Each year we take around 20 alpacas in. 

The costs of caring for these animals, particularly twice daily feeding, husbandry tasks and veterinary care are ever increasing. Hosting open days in autumn, winter and spring is our way to raise funds to enable us to continue caring for less fortunate alpacas.
