Alpacas · The full afternoon

Afternoon Tea & Walk

A 60 minute alpaca walk through the woods, then a proper afternoon tea back at the Chilli Bean Cafe. The full Charnwood Forest experience.

An hour with the herd, then a tea stand groaning with sandwiches, scones and cake. Our most-gifted experience and the obvious answer to "what shall we do on Sunday?"
