We're teaming up with Mayfield Alpaca Farm this Half-Term to bring you two FANG-TASTIC days of family fun! 👻🐍

We will be running 2x 1 hour long handling sessions at Mayfield Alpacas, Ringinglow on the 29th of October and the 1st of November. These sessions have a maximum capacity of 15 people, so everyone in attendance will have a chance to meet an amazing array of snakes, lizards and a few creepy crawlies! 🕷️

Tickets are £20 per person and include entry to the farm, a bag of animal feed and attendance to a reptile handling session (1hr long). Whilst on the farm you will have the opportunity to meet a variety of friendly farm animals (many of which are rescues!), feed them with the included feed, explore their woodland play area, dine at their lovely cafe 'The Grazing Table', and enjoy their soft play facility. It truly makes for a wonderful day out, especially when you get to meet our lovely reptiles as well! Mayfield also offers several experiences you can book alongside our handling, including Alpaca Walks - if you would truly like to make the most of your visit! We will be celebrating Halloween, so dress-up is encouraged! 🎃
