Alpaca Experiences

Welcome to SimplyAlpaca Experiences, now's your chance to get up close to them.
Being around our boys and girls brings us so much pleasure that we would like to share the "feel good" factor that they can impart to your life. Find out a little more about these beautiful animals by taking part in a half day experience to ive give you some insight into their history, care requirements and what it feels like to be with them. Perfect for anyone considering keeping alpacas for as a gift for the "alpaca-mad" person in your life.

Alpacas for Weddings

Fall in love all over again with our gentle and beguiling alpacas. They make the perfect addition to your wedding celebrations, charming and entertaining your guests. Photographs will have that extra special touch too, providing memories for a lifetime. The alpacas will also bring their own special spiritual dimension, symbolising peace and prosperity in Buddhism and Shinto.
We offer a number of packages to cater for weddings of any size, all of which can be tailored to make it extra special just for you.....an experience to remember and treasure.

Camelid Assisted Therapy

It is well documented that holding and stroking animals can reduce blood pressure, lower pulse rates and alleviate feelings of tension and anxiety.
Animals offer attention and unconditional acceptance. They are responsive, live in the ‘here and now' and don't mind who you are or what you look like.
Alpacas and llamas are intelligent and inquisitive but can also be reticent with humans who fail to give adequate consideration to their needs.
They are usually direct and honest and unlike humans they are non-judgemental and don't confuse through verbal communications. So are ideal for working with people who find themselves confused or threatened by human relations, many clients feel safer and less threatened around animals.
Being with camelids can encourage our nurturing and empathic traits and, for survivors of abuse, offer an opportunity for ‘safe touch'. Benefits of positive interactions between people and alpacas are likely to include:
Development of relationships and emotional bonds built on trust and respect
Improved mood, morale and sense of self worth
Better social interaction, reducing feelings of social isolation
Relief from anxiety and stress (slower heart rate and lower blood pressure)
The learning new skills - nurturing and caring for animals appropriately
Self-esteem and confidence building

SimplyAlpaca Farm Visits

Visits to farms by school children can take many forms; they can introduce children to new animals, to the work of looking after them, the reasons for keeping them or provide innovative ways to explore curriculum subjects. They can last an hour, a day or take place once a term. The possibilities are endless! Camelid Connection at SimplyAlpaca would like to offer the opportunity to all children and young people to take part in on-farm alpaca and llama-related activities. We aim to offer a unique and memorable learning experience.

Alpacas and llama handler training

Our training is based on the Camelidynamics approach which is a respectful and effective way to train and handle llamas and alpacas. Victoria is a Senior Camelidynamics Consultant and has trained extensively with its founder.
We will help you to learn how to train and manage your llamas and alpacas in a way that gives you an understanding of their behaviour and the importance of balance and leverage in paving the way for cooperation instead of relying on restraint and force.
You will learn a set of skills that once mastered, make every animal easier to work with. Whether your difficulty lies in catching, haltering, and leading or husbandry tasks like injections or toe nail trimming, this approach based on Camelidynamics principles offers respectful, scientifically sound answers that anyone can learn and use safely and effectively.

Fibre Fun at Simplyalpaca

Come and enjoy our animals in their home setting and take the opportunity to learn about the fibre as it comes from the animals, its preparation and use. Have go at spinning and felting and leave the day have created an original and unique piece.

Alpaca parties for every occasion

Stuck for original ideas for a birthday, hen, retirement and any other party?
Would love something a bit different that is educational as well?
These are celebration parties with a difference. A never to be forgotten experience of getting up close to the alpacas with an opportunity to stroke and handle them. During the first session we introduce the idea of respect for the animals by feeling what it is like to be an alpaca on a lead before going on to meet the animals in person. Then we use those skills to guide them around our own "Alpaca Challenge Obstacle Course" or take them for a stroll around the fields - alpacas are really curious and love the chance to get out and about. Back in The Studio we can get stuck into having some fun with some of the alpaca's fibre, trying out the craft of felt-making and making something to take home with you. Following that we can sit down to hearty but healthy party food. Check out the party packages and if there is anything missing for you we can be flexible and are willing to discuss individual requirements.
