A mindful escape from exam stress

Feeling the pressure of exams? Need a moment to relax and recharge? We've got the perfect solution for you: a meet and greet with alpacas!

Join us on Wednesday 21 January 2026 in the Boiler House Common Room for an hour of relaxed fun. Two friendly alpacas will be visiting Wessex Lane ready to help you unwind and bring a smile to your day.

Spending time with animals is proven to reduce stress and boost your mood, and alpacas are especially known for their gentle nature and soothing presence. This is a fantastic opportunity to step away from your last exams, breathe deeply, and enjoy a mindful moment in the company of these adorable creatures.

The benefits

• Relieve stress: Interacting with animals can lower anxiety and promote relaxation.
• Boost wellbeing: A short break can improve focus and mental clarity.
• Connect with others: Share the experience with fellow students in a friendly and welcoming space.

No booking required, just drop in and enjoy the experience.
