Do you fancy a few hours experiencing some time with our llamas?
What we offer - 3 hours of our time, both Vicki & Kevin will show you around our smallholding, and giving you the opportunity to get up close and personal with some, if not all of our llamas.
- First, we'll do a short introduction, including the essential health and safety rules. We'll give you some history of llamas in general, some useful facts about the way they will behave, and what you should expect from handling them.
- Next, along with the help from one of your party, we'll bring some of the llamas up to the holding pen, where you can all get to say hello!
- Here, we will show you how to halter the llama, and each member of the party (one at a time) can groom a llama and have that one to one photo opportunity.
- Next, we will take two llamas for a short stroll around our land, this will most likely be Wilbur & Cusco, and you can have the opportunity to lead them. If your party is more than 2, we can go around again, so that everyone has the chance to lead. The stroll is far too short to be called a trek, but will take 15 - 20 minutes.
- On our return, it will be treat time, the llamas will be rewarded and you'll have the chance to give them their treats.
- Then, a chance to wander over and see our other llamas, our goats, chickens, and we may even be joined by the cats!
- A quick, but thorough wash of the hands and then we'll provide you with a cup of tea or coffee and a slice of one of Vicki's homemade cakes (soft drinks will be available). Here you'll be able to ask us more detailed questions about our llamas!
Who do we offer this to? - We can cope with a maximum of 4 people. Any child under 16 must be accompanied by a full paying adult!
When do we offer this? - We can only offer this experience on Saturday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday afternoons at 2pm. Booking is essential! The start of the 2010 season begins on Saturday 29th May.
How much? - £15 per person, children under 16 will cost £10 each, and children under 10 will cost £5 each. Please note that children under 10 will NOT be able to fully participate, they will only be able to groom and feed the llamas from outside of the pen and through the fence, and will not be able to walk their own llama (they can walk with the llama while a responsible adult holds the lead).
