Go Wild this Winter Wildlife Week at Longleat

Tuesday, 6 February 2024 00:00

Celebrate Winter Wildlife Week at Longleat this half term with a range of activities and wildlife encounters for children to enjoy, whatever the weather.

A fun-packed day awaits visitors at Longleat this half-term to keep little cubs entertained.

Day tickets purchased from 10 to 18 February will include Longleat’s famous Drive-Through Safari, on-foot animal and adventure attractions, as well as a host of indoor and outdoor activities, including:

· Interactive storytelling performances from Junk Jodie.

· A mini skating rink for under-12s.

· A bird of prey flying display.

· Arts and crafts activities.

· Willow weaving

· Pottery painting and sand art (for a small additional cost)

And with so much to do, visitors can extend their visit with an overnight stay

For people wishing to extend their stay, Longleat has seven cottages dotted throughout the grounds, all with spectacular landscape views.

Two are nestled right in the heart of the Safari Park, with only the animals as neighbours. Imagine the excitement of waking up with a Safari Park right on the doorstep and a cosy cottage with a warming fire to return to after a busy day outside exploring.

When: February half term, 10 to 18 February, from 10 am – 5 pm. The last entry to the Safari is at 3 pm.
