Take a stroll with the unicorn alpacas

Castle and Marketplace

Enjoy unique animal encounters at Castle Quarter when the popular unicorn alpacas return for a free, family-friendly event.

Animal lovers will have the chance to meet an enchanting mix of four-legged friends, including adorable alpacas, miniature horses, gentle tortoises, and many more, on Friday 29th August, from 12pm to 4pm.

For a small donation, alpaca fans will also be able to take one of these beautiful creatures for a stroll around Castle Gardens, offering a special opportunity to find out more about their lives, care and lovable personalities.

There is no need to pre-book and every penny raised from the alpaca walks will go towards their care at Church Farm, near Beccles, where all the animals are based. The site is also home to a sanctuary specialising in rescuing and rehoming rare animal breeds, exotic mammals and local wildlife.
