CHILDREN and adults are welcome to join Alresford Alpacas meet and greet, and have a go at pumpkin decorating next month for Halloween. 

At Ox Drove Way, Upper Wield, on October 28 and 29 families are encouraged to turn up wearing their halloween costumes where they can meet and feed nine friendly alpacas.

Kerry May, owner of Alresford Alpacas, originally had five alpacas until she rescued four more in August from the RSPCA. The alpaca group includes Big Colin, Miguel, Winston, Percy, Hamish, Phillip, Desmond, Maurice and Edwin. 

To visit to the alpaca meet and greet will cost £12 per person, which includes a pumpkin to decorate and a bag of alpaca feed. 

Throughout the summer Kerry has also been holding picnics with the alpacas at Dummer Down Farm, and two of the alpacas, Percy and Big Colin, also attend weddings and events too.
