Adopt an Alpaca Hampshire — Your Complete Guide to Alpaca Adoption Gifts
Adopting an alpaca from Hensting Alpacas in Hampshire is one of the most personal animal gifts available in the UK. You choose a named alpaca from our herd of 40+, receive a beautifully presented digital or physical adoption pack, and keep up to date with your alpaca throughout the year via photo updates and news from the farm.
Why Alpaca Adoption Is One of Hampshire's Most Personal Gifts
Combining the emotional connection of supporting a named animal with regular updates, photos, and a beautifully presented adoption pack from £12 — alpaca adoption at Hensting stands apart from generic gift experiences. Your recipient chooses their visit date, walks alongside their adopted alpaca through Itchen Valley Country Park, and leaves with a memory that lasts far longer than any physical gift.
Accessible Alpaca Walks Every Wednesday — Free Carer Tickets
Our Wednesday accessible walks run at a relaxed pace along Itchen Valley's 5km of surfaced, level pathways — suitable for wheelchairs, mobility aids, and all abilities. Carers attend free of charge. Alpaca adoption recipients on an accessible walk bring their adoption pack as confirmation and are welcomed by name by our handlers.
How the Adopt-an-Alpaca Scheme Works
Adoption packages are available year-round. Once purchased, the digital pack arrives by email within minutes — ideal for last-minute gifts. Physical packs ship within 2–3 working days and include a framed certificate, wallet card, and seasonal newsletter. All packages are valid for 12 months from purchase date.
What Each Adoption Package Includes
- Digital Adoption (from £12): Named alpaca certificate (PDF), digital photo, farm newsletter, and a 10% discount on your first walk booking.
- Standard Adoption (from £35): All digital benefits plus a printed, framed certificate and wallet-sized adoption card, posted to any UK address.
- Premium Adoption (from £62): Everything above plus a dedicated walk session, a professionally printed photo of your alpaca, and a personalised thank-you letter from our farm team.
