Middle England Farm Alpacas and Care Farm

What it’s like

Book a slot to walk an alpaca, meet the goats and sheep, then say hello to giant bunnies and guinea pigs.

This is a booked experience, not a farm you wander round. You pick a slot, turn up for it, and spend your time walking alpacas across the fields, handling goats and sheep, and dropping into the Giant Bunny Experience and Guinea Pig World. Under-10s share an alpaca with an adult rather than leading their own, which makes sense once you picture a five-year-old holding a lead rope alone in a muddy field.

The fields are uneven and often properly muddy, so pushchairs and wheelchairs are both ruled out for safety. That's a real limit if you've got a baby in tow or need wheeled access, and there's no way round it given the terrain. Everyone in your group needs to be steady on their feet.

Booking is locked in once made. There's no changing your date or time afterwards, so check the calendar properly before you pay, and tickets aren't refundable or transferable either. You can bring food for afterwards, but even that needs booking ahead as they get busy and can't do unplanned picnics.

You can't just show up on spec. It's appointment only, every visit, which suits a planned birthday outing better than a spontaneous rainy Tuesday.
