 Exciting Events at Hensting Alpacas – A Year of Adventure Awaits!

At Hensting Alpacas, we are always looking for new ways to make your visit more exciting and memorable. With a major relocation and plenty of unique events, 2024 is shaping up to be a fantastic year! Whether you’re looking to connect with nature, enjoy a fun family day out, or experience something truly special, our upcoming alpaca walks and experiences offer something for everyone.


Our Big Move to Itchen Valley Country Park!

One of our most significant announcements this year is our move to Itchen Valley Country Park! Starting February 14th, all alpaca walks will take place in this stunning 440-acre park in the heart of Hampshire. This move provides beautiful scenic woodland trails, open meadows, and the serene Itchen River, making it the perfect environment for both our alpacas and visitors.

For now, while we await our official license approval, our walks will still be hosted at Kiln Lane, Otterbourne. We expect the final approval by February 14th, after which all walks will take place at Itchen Valley Country Park. Make sure to check your booking confirmation for the correct location!
