Alpaca Walks

We started putting on our Alpaca Walk events in the Autumn of last yearin conjunction with the lovely people at Pages Farm in Elstree, and they have proved to be more popular than we could ever have imagined.

In April this year we hosted a group of adults with learning difficulties from St Albans, The project leader of the group said “Thank you for a fantastic day today! All our members loved being at your farm”, and added “The members will remember today and talk about it for a long time”.

Well done to the remarkable Sarah Vista, https://sarahvista.bandcamp.com, who performed at The King Stag. Despite problems with the borrowed PA system (entirely out of their control), they ploughed on and delivered a superb unplugged set. Much appreciated by those lucky enough to be close to the stage.
