Explore new realms at Longleat this half term

Tuesday, 23 May 2023 01:00

Travel back to Medieval England at Longleat this May Half Term (27th May – 4th June).

Brave knight-errants can take on the ultimate challenge of scaling The Realm - a giant inflatable castle course filled with bouncy obstacles, scramble nets and slides to overcome to complete your quest.

There’s high-flying falconry fun with birds of prey taking flight and the chance to learn how to become a fully-fledged knight.

Younger visitors can even make their own armour, ready to meet and greet medieval characters roaming the Park.

Whatever the weather, there’s plenty more medieval merriment on offer in the Longhouse, Longleat’s giant indoor venue, including sand art and pottery painting as well as making your own pizza at King Arthur’s pizza creation station.

The adventure doesn’t end there, though. Venture into tiger territory, wolf wood, vulture valley and more on a Drive Through Safari. At the African Village, you can jump out to feed the giraffes and get up close to ring-tailed lemurs.

Set sail on the Boat Safari to see magnificent gorillas in their lakeside retreat and enjoy the antics of playful sea lions as they keep pace with the boat.

The Family Farmyard is the perfect place for younger animal lovers to come and meet some of their favourites, including bunnies, donkeys, chickens and more exotic critters from further afield.

Plus, discover a world of extraordinary history at Longleat House with a specially curated guided tour.
