What to Expect

Mother's Day Alpaca Walk Hampshire — Family Alpaca Walks at Itchen Valley, Hampshire

Hensting Alpacas at Itchen Valley Country Park runs Hampshire's most family-friendly alpaca walking experience — all ages welcome from 3 upwards, infants in carriers, accessible Wednesday walks for all abilities, and free carer tickets. Walks last approximately 2 hours and take you through 440 acres of ancient Hampshire countryside alongside our friendly herd.

Make It a Full Day — Alpaca Walk + Go Ape at Itchen Valley

Itchen Valley Country Park is home to both Hensting Alpacas and Go Ape's high ropes, ziplines, and axe throwing. Book your morning alpaca walk, then spend the afternoon on Go Ape's Treetop Challenge or Treetop Adventure — perfect for families or adventurous groups wanting a full day out.

Mother's Day Alpaca Walk Hampshire — Everything You Need to Know

Mother's Day at Hensting Alpacas has become an annual tradition for dozens of Hampshire families — a morning or afternoon away from the kitchen that combines the best of the outdoors, gentle exercise, and genuine animal contact in a way that a card and chocolates simply cannot replicate. Our alpacas are gentle, curious, and responsive to the calm energy their handlers and guests bring; watching a mum — whether she is 35 or 75 — quietly bond with an alpaca on the lead while her family walks beside her is something our team genuinely looks forward to every March. We open additional slots in the weeks surrounding Mother's Day and offer gift vouchers for families who want to give the experience as a surprise.

Who Can Come?

  • Children 3–12: walk alongside an adult, both holding leads on the same alpaca
  • Ages 12–16: lead their own alpaca independently, with an adult present
  • Adults 16+: fully independent lead throughout
  • Infants: welcome in baby carriers or slings — no pushchairs permitted
  • Accessibility: dedicated Wednesday sessions on fully surfaced level paths
  • Carers: attend free of charge on Wednesday accessible sessions
