Festive Classes

Join us in Our Back Garden for a series of exclusive workshops in our cosy cabin.

Come and relax, tick those festive boxes, unleash your creative side with guidance from some inspiring teachers and of course, meet the Alpacas.

Book below and leave the rest to us. Bring yourselves, enjoy the atmosphere and leave with your very own creations – perfect to gift or display in your own home.

Wreath Making Classes 

The wonderful Roses and Pine Cones is back again, armed with festive foliage, foraged extras from our farm and a helping hand to show you the ropes for making your own festive wreath. We’re hosting two classes this year, one includes a grazing board to keep you going, the other with a seasonal sweet bite from our friends at Blue Fig Deli and both with plenty of good vibes, drinks (softs and alcoholic) and alpacas.

Paint and Sip

Join the two artists of Team OBG, Danny and Milly, to create your very own alpaca themed Christmas card. We’ll meet the herd to inspire your artwork before heading indoors surrounded by plenty of reference materials. After a few warm-up exercises and exploring techniques to paint a wreath, you’re free to create and bring your vision to life! Leave with one, maybe two if you’re speedy, cards ready to gift or frame – and lots of festive cheer.

Frequently asked questions

PARKING & ACCESSIBILITY

We have parking on site for all pre booked guests. Please drive via Westbourne village when using our postcode to find our gate. Once on-site parking is signposted along the apple trees to your left . If you’re struggling for a spot a member of the OBG team will help you find a space.

As our workshops will take place in the cabin this year, we're happy for those who need more accessible parking to drive up to the entrance. Please let us know in advance so we can reserve a space. There are stairs up into the cabin supported by a handrail and grip on the decking.

The Alpaca Cabin is equipped with a bathroom. The Cabin itself is accessed by steps but once inside, is step-free.

The Alpaca Cabin is completely indoors, so if the weather is not favourable, we will be comfortable, warm and able to go ahead as planned. We may need to change the Meet & Greet aspect of your visit if the weather is particularly bad, but we will communicate this with notice.

Where food is included in your workshop, please contact us via email hello@ourbg.co.uk to make us aware of any dietary requirements.

We will do our best, as will our catering partner, to ensure we can cater to the best of our ability - however due to the nature of preparation and service onsite, cross contamination is a risk. Please do keep this in mind for those with allergies. We will not serve nuts at any of our workshops.

For our Vegan and Vegetarian guests, we will arrange a separate grazing board with notice.

If you bring your own food due to allergies or dietary requirements this is at your own risk, and we ask that wash you hands before you consume any food after your experience with the alpacas.

For workshops you will need to leave your fur babies at home you will not be able to take a dog or any pet into the same paddock as the alpacas or near our livestock.

A great visit for a meet and greet session at Our Back Garden today. My granddaughter absolutely loved it. The staff were friendly and helpful, making it such a pleasurable visit. We definitely intend to return for alpaca walking later in the year

Had an amazing visit today, meeting and feeding the alpacas. The hosts were really friendly and informative and obviously really care about their animals and their business. The alpacas were lovely, the hot drinks great and the produce made from the alpaca wool was wonderful; I look forward to wearing my hat and socks and I'm sure our grandson will love his cuddly alpaca. Would definitely recommend a visit and would love to come back.

We had a fantastic couple of hours with the alpacas today. Such a great place, with a lovely family feel. Laura was brilliant and taught us everything we needed to know. I’m in love with Flora and wanted to take her home. Thank you so much.

Absolutely brilliant. The hut is so cute and the setting is beautiful. Laura and Perry are also incredibly helpful.
