This was our first visit to the British Alpaca Society National Show. We took 4 alpacas and 3 of our stud males won awards. PENNYBRIDGE TOMMY- 1st Brown Huacaya senior male, ASHWOOD BALTIMORE - 2nd White Huacaya adult male and LOST CITY SEBASTIEN - 3nd White Huacaya adult male.

MAY BANK HOLIDAY OPEN DAY

This is the first Open Day of the year. The Open Day was attended by around 250 people who enjoyed a leisurely afternoon. Our craft exhibition with local spinners, weavers and the basket maker was a great success. Many of our visitors tried their hand at these specialist skills. The Cox Garden Club brought many plants for sale (some using our Paca Poo). And our alpacas were on their best behaviour!

HURST COUNTRY FAYRE AND HORSE SHOW

Tippenswood Alpaca were a main attraction at the Hurst Country Show. We had a craft stall with an opportunity for people to try spinning alpaca fibre and experiment with basic felting techniques. Our prize winning alpacas - PENNYBRIDGE TOMMY, LOST CITY SEBASTIEN and ASHWOOD BALTIMORE made their appearance at the show

HURST HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY SHOW

Tippenswood Alpaca had a stall at the 95th annual show of the Hurst Horticultural Society.

UFFINGTON WHITE HORSE SHOW

We will attend again at this show with our alpacas. It is a long way for our alpacas to travel - but it provides an opportunity for us to share our knowledge about alpacas and show off our products. Some of our products will be on display.

AUTUMN ARTS AND CRAFTS SHOW

Tippens Wood will be hosting an arts and crafts show in the Autmun which will be a show case for spinning, felting, weaving and dyeing. There will be a few small workshops for people to try these skills. The focus will be on making gifts and decorations for Christmas. Please let us know in advance if you would like to attend. Further information on this show will be posted on our website.
