We do understand that some customers will have planned a  trip specially to meet the alpacas and may have travelled a long distance. If this is  the case you can still attend Hensting Alpacas for a limited experience on the  morning of your cancelled walk where you can meet the alpacas, feed the animals  and take part in a shorter walk if it is safe to do so.

Cancellations and Vouchers

Vouchers are now valid for 6 months from purchase and clearly stamped at top with  the expiry date. These vouchers cannot be refunded once purchased and can only be  used to make a booking. Vouchers must be redeemed within 6 months from purchase,  or they will no longer be valid. The gift ticket remains the property of Hensting  Alpacas and is not for re-sale, is non-refundable and non-extendable. After tickets  have been safely delivered and received by the recipient, it is beyond our control and  responsibility, and we're unable to issue replacement tickets should they be  misplaced. Hensting Alpacas operate a policy of no refunds or exchanges for tickets  bought at admissions, booked online or by telephone. However, please note that  booked places are transferable, so please feel free to send other people to fulfil your  booking - provided that they have the necessary booking confirmation(s) and/or gift  vouchers. Should this be the case, we would appreciate notification of this transfer  prior to the walk If you are unwell on the day of your alpaca walk or event we ask  that you send someone in your place. If you have booked along with other people, the  participants who are not unwell will still be expected to attend.

Failure to arrive on time, which result in a no show, are lost and cannot be reused, No refund can be made in these incidences.  If you are unwell on the day of your alpaca walk or event we ask that you send someone in your place. If you have booked along with other people, the participants who are not unwell will still be expected to attend. If you fail to turn up for your alpaca walk we regret that that no refunds or re- scheduling can be offered. Tickets are valid only for the date they are booked and  cannot be transferred to another date .  Lots of people attend the walks and it would be unfair if we had to wate for someone who was late, so we have to be strict, but if you think you are going to be late please call us beforhand so we may be able to hold the gate for an extra 5 minutes.

vouchers are valid to the end of the day stamped on them. ie Stamped 16th Aug means valid until end of the day August 16th. So this means you must book your walk before this day

can I use the voucher after this time?

No the voucher will become invalid after the use by date and you will have lost your chance

Can I extend the voucher

No unfortunately not as we only allocate a certain number of vouchers per month as we only have a set number of alpacas to walk, so we are very careful to only allow a set number.  If we were to extend your voucher in to the next month it would mean the people with vouchers in the following month would not be able to book a space and this would be unfair

How long are the voucher valid?

The vouchers are valid for 6 months depending in what time of the month you purchased the voucher

Can I get a refund on a voucher?

No unfortunately not so please be careful when buying your voucher and make sure it is what you want. Once a voucher is programmed in to the system it is impossible for us to remove it.  Its also a gift and if its been used to make a booking then the booking cannot be changed


Website Customers

The management reserves the right to  refuse admission to any ticket holder and, in the interest of the public and for safety  reasons, we also reserve the right to request guests to leave the park at any time. During the walk we take photographs of the experience, and these are published on  our Facebook page to enable our customers the opportunity to see their time with us  at no extra charge.

We have toilet facilities and the garden centre next to us does, which is 2  minutes away!
