Steve Backshall is returning to Longleat this half term with his 'Wild Day Out', with brand new shows.
From showcasing a six-banded armadillo to a binturong and from an eastern indigo snake to birds of prey, one of Britain’s best-loved naturalists and TV presenters, Steve Backshall, will be ensuring a wild day out during his residency at Longleat.
It is the second year the intrepid naturalist will be at the Wiltshire estate, promising a new show for audiences.
Fresh from the Arctic, where he has been exploring climate change and the Albedo Effect—how much light is reflected from the surface and its impact on global warming—he is heading to Longleat for the May half-term.
“I’m really excited to be coming back to Longleat and sharing information on the speed, stamina and survival tactics of a range of animals and birds,” he says.
“We never know how the animals or birds will respond as they haven’t read the script, so a live show is always especially thrilling. It’s promising to be a week of fun for all the family.”
2024 saw more than £25,000 for conservation charity Tusk from Steve’s shows and the charity will once again benefit this year from the £1 per person show booking fee with a valid Longleat pass or day ticket.
The 30-minute shows take place at 11.30 am, 1 pm, 2.30 pm and 4 pm daily from Saturday, 24 May to Sunday, 1 June.
