More than 500 alpacas will be participating in the Halter Show, with the winners of regional shows competing in the Champion of Champions Fleece Show. 

Taking place from 20 March to 22 March, the event is one of the largest and most prestigious alpaca shows in the world. 

A wonderful range of products skilfully crafted from alpaca wool will be available to purchase.

A post on the Society website about the event said: "Immerse yourself in the world of alpacas as you explore stalls offering a range of alpaca-related products. From soft and warm alpaca fibre clothing to unique alpaca-themed gifts, you'll find it here. Don't miss the chance to meet knowledgeable experts who can provide valuable insights into alpaca care, breeding, and more."
