Alpacas visit patients at Tewkesbury Community Hospital

A pair of alpacas have been spreading Christmas cheer to hospital patients in Gloucestershire.

Cosmo and Nigel were brought over from Cotswold Vale Alpacas in Evesham to visit people staying at Tewkesbury Community Hospital.

Their owner and trainer Ginnie Meakin said they are “great therapy, relieving stress and giving people the feel-good factor".

The visit was funded by the charity Tewkesbury Hospital League of Friends.
