Visitors to Alpaca Fest are requested to park at North Cave car boot, just a short walk along Newport Road from the farm. Stall holders/vendors and those with disabled parking passes can park directly at the farm; no dogs apart from assistance/guide dogs are allowed on the site.
The Alpaca Fest has been run since 2021 when the first UK National Alpaca Farm Day was celebrated. It acts as a day of awareness about alpacas and other farm animals – Ings Park has goats, sheep and pigs – as well as providing fun activities for all ages.
On the day, visitors can expect alpaca and sheep walks, goat yoga, a funfair, pottery painting, face painting and glitter tattoos. There will be farm animals to pet and live music.
A post by Ings Park Alpacas said: “Our annual Alpaca Fest returns on Saturday 31st August (4th year in a row)!! We're so excited! The last hoorah before the new school term starts.”

Another said: “Can't wait for the event. Always good fun for the kids.” One person said, simply: “Super cute.”
