Toft Manor, Dunchurch, Warwickshire


Next weekend Toft Alpacas will be opening its gates to welcome in friends and customers old and new to come and celebrate Toft Alpaca Shop's 5th Birthday. All are welcome to come and join in this open farm day where there will be plenty of alpaca activities for all.

Drop in 10am-4pm for a couple of hours to come and meet the Toft Alpaca herd close-up and get the opportunity to take part in some alpaca craft activities including spinning, knitting and felting. We are very pleased to have the Coventry Spinners, Weavers and Dyers Guild in residence who will be spinning up some of Toft's finest fleeces. Farm tours will be running on the hour every hour for you to get the chance to meet this year's group of cria (baby alpacas!). We will be communally (four knitters at once) knitting an alpaca blanket which will then be auctioned to rasie money for Practical Action. Children and adults alike can have a go at some wet felting as we construct a lifesize felted alpaca. Speed knitting competitions, an alpaca quiz to win prizes and much more!

Refreshments will be available (tea, coffee and hog roast).
