Alpaca Meet and Greet Experience in Peterborough

About this tour

Spend an hour on a Peterborough working farm getting to know alpacas up close whilst learning how the operation transforms their fibre into wearable art and crafts. You'll feed the animals, hear about their distinctive personalities, and see first-hand how a traditional farm has evolved to make use of natural colours and textures. It's a hands-on look at what goes into producing handmade paper and alpaca-fibre goods from shearing through to finished product.

Highlights

• Feed alpacas and observe their quirky temperament
• Learn how farm diversified into fibre production
• See handmade paper and alpaca-fibre crafts
• Understand the shearing-to-product journey
• Capture genuine farm moments and animal portraits
• Working farm environment, not a petting zoo

What to expect

You'll arrive at an operating farm where alpacas roam alongside the business that supports them. Staff will walk you through how the animals' annual shearing feeds into a craft operation using natural fibres and dyes. Expect to spend time at ground level with the alpacas themselves—feeding them, watching how they move and interact, picking up on their individual quirks. You'll tour the workspace where raw fibre becomes finished goods: handmade paper, woven items, and other textiles. The farm is set up to be accessible, with flat paths and stable surfaces throughout.
