Alpaca & Goat Afternoon Tea

Spend time with our alpacas and goats before relaxing in our picnic area with tea and cakes

Pre -booking essential

Enjoy the views    and admire the animals

Join our farm hosts, alpacas, and goats for a delightful afternoon tea experience. During this 1 hour and 30-minute session, you’ll have the chance to meet our alpacas, Pygmy goats, and Boer goats, and hand-feed them. After spending time with the animals, you can relax in our picnic area at the top of the hill, which offers stunning views overlooking the goat, alpaca, and some sheep fields. On a clear day, you’ll even be able to see distant views of the sea and Dover Castle, making for a truly picturesque and memorable experience.

Our goats absolutely love a selfie, and Nancy, our Boer goat, is particularly fond of climbing up and getting in the pictures! We always enjoy seeing your photos, so please do tag us on your social media channels – we’d love to see your wonderful moments with our animals.

We have 10 Pygmy goats, 6 Boer goats, and a British Alpine goat, along with kids that are due to be born in March. In addition, we have a number of sheep that have a distinctive appearance, looking more like goats than traditional sheep. It’s always a fun mix of characters, and visitors love getting to know all our unique animals!

If you’d like to hand-feed and meet all of our other animals, you might consider booking our V.I.P Experience. This special experience gives you the chance to interact with a wider range of animals and enjoy a more personalised visit, making it a truly memorable day on the farm.  

What age group is this suitable for?

This is a relaxing, slow-paced experience, so we feel it is best suited to 13-year-olds and adults. Younger children are likely to prefer one of our other visits, which may offer more active or engaging experiences for them.     

 

Can we walk the alpacas or goats?

 This experience is timed to fit around our animals' lunch and rest time, so unfortunately, it is not possible to walk them during this session. However, we do offer separate goat and alpaca experiences that include walking, allowing you to enjoy a more active experience with our animals

What happens if it is raining?

Unlike sheep, goats do not have a waterproof fleece, and at the first drop of rain, they run for cover in their shelters. If it’s raining on the day of your visit, we may bring some of the goats into the barn for you to meet them there instead, ensuring that you still have the chance to interact with them in a dry and comfortable setting.  

We will still visit the alpacas in the field, rain or shine, as they’re quite happy to be outside. However, if the weather isn’t ideal, the afternoon tea will take place in our cosy cabin, offering you a warm and sheltered space to relax while enjoying your refreshments. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the experience no matter the weather!

Do you provide the afternoon tea?  

Yes, we provide a light afternoon tea which includes:

Tea, coffee, green tea, orange juice.

A selection of cakes for each table.

If you have any dietary requirements, please let us know at least a week before your visit so we can make sure we cater to your needs. We want everyone to be able to enjoy their afternoon tea comfortably!    .

Who is the visit    Suitable for?

This experience is suited to young people aged 13 years to adults.

Our land is on hills, and the paddocks can get muddy in wet weather, so, unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate wheelchairs or pushchairs on the farm. However, if you wish to visit with a wheelchair, please email us in advance. We may be able to arrange to bring some animals to the barn or yard area, which is more accessible, so you can still meet and feed them in a comfortable setting. Please let us know, and we’ll do our best to make your visit enjoyable!
