Longleat Safari park will reopen today following its closure over the weekend because of the high winds brought by Storm Darragh.
The Wiltshire Safari Park closed following the warnings of high winds due to Storm Darragh on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th December.
Automatic refunds were put in place for guests who had booked to see The Festival of Light, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
Scott Ashman, Head of Operations, said: “We are grateful for all the messages of support and the understanding shown by guests whose visits were cancelled over the weekend due to Storm Darragh. Safety is and always will be our priority and we are fortunate that we didn’t experience any injuries to staff or animals.
“Our teams have been working hard to make the site safe as well as securing and repairing the lanterns for The Festival of Light to ensure they are as spectacular as they were before Storm Darragh hit. We were fortunate that only one lantern – Romeo and Juliet – has been damaged beyond repair.
“Refunds from the weekend are still being processed and this will continue as a priority over the next couple of days. We hope the majority of people will be able to find new dates to visit us.”
The Festival of Light runs until 5 January.
