Wicklow to welcome an alpacas and pumpkin patch fundraising event this October

A fun-filled event for a great cause. 

K2Alpacas has partnered up with The Down Syndrome Centre to welcome families and schools this spooky season to their Halloween Pumpkin Patch Event. Tucked away on the K2Alapacas farm in North Wicklow, the event will be open to all for two weekends in October. The Halloween Pumpkin Patch event is a fundraiser for the Down Syndrome Centre, which works with a wide range of people with special needs, including children and adults with Down Syndrome.
