The event is usually aimed at breeders, but this year, organisers decided to open the doors to all for the first time.

Paul Stead, chairman of event organiser the Heart of England Alpaca Group, said: “The UK’s affection for alpacas shows little sign of diminishing and so we’re aiming to make this year’s event more of a showcase for the wider general public.”
