Creating special moments

 

“We wanted to create an event that would bring joy and a sense of novelty to our residents, and the Alpaca Afternoon Tea did just that,” said Connie Hughes, Manager of Walcot Hall. “Seeing the residents interact with the alpacas and enjoy their afternoon tea was truly amazing. It’s events like these that remind us of the importance of creating special moments for those in our care.”

Residents expressed their delight at the unusual and delightful company. The alpacas, known for their calm and friendly nature, were a hit and sparked lively conversations.
