About

Part of Experience Ards and North Down 2024. Click here to see the full programme. 

 

Andy and Joanne invite you to Eastwell Farm for a festive experience with a difference. As you tour the farm watch out for the pigmy goats and chickens and of course you will get to meet the Alpacas.

Guests will have the opportunity to pet and feed the Alpacas and hear about their unusual names – Scarlet O’Hara and Truly Scrumptious to ‘name’ a few.

Andy and Joanne are passionate about their herd and will share stories about their personalities and traits.

This intimate experience (only six per session) will allow you to get to know Eastwell Farm and its furry inhabitants.
 
Sustainability is important to Eastwell Farm and after your tour you are invited you to pick a spot and plant a tree. What better way to mark your visit.

Each guest can attach their name to the tree so that you can see how it has grown on future visits.

This beautiful family experience is the perfect opportunity to spend quality family time doing something completely different.  Book now to avoid disappointment.

Note, this experience will run over two days, Saturday or Sunday.  Ticketholders will book a one-hour time slot - either 10am, 11.30am, 1pm or 2.30pm. Please ensure you have selected your preferred day of visit before completing your ticket transaction.
