Beacon Alpacas

Our alpaca walks are going ahead as an outdoor business who can observe social distancing guidelines with procedures in place, for our customers who are permitted to visit in line with their local area’s government guidelines. If you are not permitted to travel or have been in contact with anyone with symptoms please call us to postpone your alpaca walk. We will honour your booking anytime this year or next year when it is safe for you to rebook your visit.

On arrival at the farm and on the walks we can easily maintain 2m distance alpacas are quite good at that. There will be other people on each walk plus us so if you would prefer to rearrange your booking that is absolutely fine just let us know.

I would like to thank all of my customers for your understanding and patience during this difficult time.

All your gift vouchers and postponed bookings will be honoured whenever you are able to book your visit irrespective of any expiry date.

We are open and very busy so taking advanced bookings, currently fully booked in September but we can put you on a waiting list for your preferred day. We are open one Tuesday on 1st September with a few spaces left so please call 01347 868879 if you would like to book this day

Visitor numbers are reduced from last year to observe social distancing procedures so book early if you would like a specific date, we can be flexible if you need to amend this nearer the time.

Every thing is uncertain at the moment and subject to change at short notice so we are doing our best to offer an efficient, safe service and excellent antidote to lockdown. Alpacas are quite good a social distancing anyway and as an outdoor, mindful activity we know walking with alpacas will be an enjoyable and relaxing activity to enjoy going forward.

Bookings can be made here on the website or by giving me a call on 01347 868879. Stay safe, many thanks and kind regards, Jacki

Gift Vouchers can be purchased for your animal mad friends and family, they will be open ended and have no expiry date until the covid risk is greatly reduced in this country
