ALPACAS will be the stars of the show at a farm open weekend.

Orchard Farm, in Horkesley Road, Boxted, will be opening its doors to the public on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

There have recently been some new arrivals at the farm – named Stella, Gabriella, Gaia, Austin, Reuben and Kipling – as well as a longer-haired Suri alpaca called Mulberry.

There is no admission charge for this event, but the public can support the farm by buying alpaca food, tea, coffee and cake.

Buckets of alpaca feed cost £1 from the cafe.
