Give Them Something Different This Christmas
Another Christmas is approaching, and with it comes that familiar question. What do you buy someone who already seems to have everything?
If you’re looking for Christmas gift ideas that are a little different this year, we’ve got something worth considering.
Imagine giving someone the chance to walk alongside rescued alpacas on the shores of Derwentwater, or enjoy a delicious Cumbrian breakfast before meeting some of the cheekiest members of our Woolly Army.
At Alpacaly Ever After, we offer alpaca experiences in the Lake District that bring people closer to these wonderful animals while helping support our rescue work.
And with Alpacaly Ever After currently ranked No. 1 on Tripadvisor’s list of Lake District attractions, you’re giving someone an experience that visitors from across the country have fallen in love with.
Whether you’re shopping for your partner, parents, children or someone who’s impossible to buy for, our alpaca gift vouchers offer a Christmas present with something exciting to look forward to.
Give the Gift of an Alpaca Walk at Lingholm Estate
Imagine opening a Christmas present and discovering that you’re going to spend a morning walking with alpacas beside one of the most beautiful lakes in Britain.
Our alpaca walking experiences take place at Lingholm Estate, on the shores of Derwentwater near Keswick. With views towards Catbells and the surrounding mountains, it’s a wonderful way to discover the Lake District.
But the alpacas are the real stars of the show.
Each has a different personality, and you’ll soon discover who’s curious, who’s cheeky and who’s more interested in stopping for a snack.
Along the way, our guides introduce you to the animals, share their rescue stories and explain how Alpacaly Ever After gives alpacas and llamas a second chance.
An alpaca walking gift voucher is a lovely Christmas present for couples, friends, parents and anyone who enjoys animals and the outdoors.
And the best part? Every experience helps support the care of our rescued animals.
Meet the Alpacas at Basecamp North Lakes
Not everyone wants to head out on a long walk, and that’s where our Meet the Alpacas experience at Basecamp North Lakes comes in.
Set on our beautiful 155-acre site between Keswick and Penrith, this is a chance to get up close to some of the rescued alpacas and llamas who call Alpacaly Ever After home.
You’ll meet the herd, hand-feed the alpacas, discover their individual personalities and hear some of the stories behind their rescues.
Some are confident and curious. Others take a little longer to come and say hello. And there’s usually at least one who thinks all the food should belong to them.
It’s a 40-minute experience, making it a lovely Christmas gift for families, grandparents, animal lovers and anyone who would enjoy spending time with our Woolly Army.
And with our award-winning Basecamp North Lakes farm shop and café right next door, there’s plenty of opportunity to make a morning of it.
Alpacas & Breakfast for Two: A Christmas Gift With a Difference
If you’re looking for something a little more special, why not treat someone to breakfast and an alpaca encounter?
Our Meet the Alpacas & Breakfast for Two gift voucher combines a delicious breakfast at the award-winning Basecamp North Lakes café with a visit to meet our rescued alpacas.
Start the morning with a proper Cumbrian breakfast, made using local produce, before heading out to meet some of the Woolly Army.
The voucher costs £81.75 for two people aged 12 and over and includes breakfast, hot or cold drinks, the alpaca experience and an eco-friendly gift box with postage.
It’s a particularly lovely present for couples, parents or grandparents who deserve a morning out together.
And rather than another present gathering dust, they’ll have something to look forward to in the new year.
