A little look back at some of our favourite moments from 2024! So many wonderful things happened, including the birth of our tiger cubs, the arrival of our African painted dogs and our anniversary celebrations for Queen Elizabeth I's visit 450 years ago.
We look forward to another fun-packed year with you in 2025, when our Bat Cave will be reopening in time for our February half term celebration, Winter Wonders ✨
Merry Christmas one and all! We hope you're having a wonderful day with your loved ones.
Some of our keepers are spending the day on-site with our furry family, so we'd like to say a huge thank you to them for making sure our animals are fed and cared for on this special day ❤️
It's not just humans that get a visit from Santa!
As a Christmas Eve treat, Santa brought special presents to some of the animals on his nice list... (and even some on his naughty list 🐒)
Thank you to Woburn Safari Park who sent us these wonderful BIAZA Secret Santa gifts! Our keepers will certainly enjoy all these festive treats 🎄

It’s a magical time of the year as The Festival of Light is shining brightly and we head into Christmas week! Here to help you make the most of your visit is Scott, our Head of Operations.
🐯Our safari park opens at 9:30am and is generally quieter in the mornings.
📱Make sure to download our Longleat app before you arrive, so you can make the most of your visit. Available on the Apple Store & Google Play.
🌕Some of our attractions, such as Jungle Cruise, cannot operate in low light levels and will close as the Park starts to get dark.
🦉There’s still plenty to do as day turns to evening as our first daily showing of A Festive Flight is at 3pm – doors open 20 minutes before the start of the show, but remember the early bird gets the worm (or in this case, seat)! It’s not possible to reserve seats.
Animal Park is Back!
We're so excited that Animal Park is back on our screens! Tune into BBC One at 10.45am every morning this week to join Ben, Kate, Hamza and Megan as they catch up with our keepers and animals for a festive new series 🦁
Give the gift of getting up close to our animals this Christmas! 🦁🎄
Your loved ones can meet and even feed their favourite Longleat residents on a thrilling VIP experience, including our famous lions and adorable red pandas. Get gift vouchers for the most special surprise here: https://www.longleat.co.uk/vip/
Making The Festival of Light 2024
A lot of work has gone into the preparation of The Festival of Light, especially since we're celebrating 10 years since it first lit up Longleat ✨
If you've ever wondered how we create the UK's best lantern festival, we've gone behind the scenes to show you how these spectacular illuminated scenes are brought to life.
