More than 300 llamas and alpacas are set to invade Sussex as part of a show.

The llama and alpaca competition held at Ardingly's Spring Garden and Leisure Show is officially now Europe's largest gathering of the creatures.

Organiser Liz Butler said: "It is an amazing increase on last year. I think it demonstrates just how much llama and alpaca showing is growing in popularity.

"It's very exciting because not only will it be the largest show we've ever hosted at Ardingly, it will also be the largest joint llama and alpaca show held in Europe ever."

The show is being held on May 6 and 7. It also features a dog show, along with a showcase of hobbies and past-times.
