Longleat

We’re excited to reveal this year’s sparkling theme for The Festival of Light... Embark on an extraordinary adventure this Christmas as The Festival of Light presents Legendary Worlds 🏛️🔱🐉

@BIAZA Without our hundreds of employees, Longleat wouldn’t be where it is today, creating history with conservation at the heart of it all. We certainly #LoveYourZoo and we #LoveLongleat too!

This week marks @BIAZA’s #LoveYourZoo Week, and as we celebrate 60 years since becoming the first Drive-Through Safari outside of Africa, we gathered our wonderful team to mark the special year 🥳

Animal Park is on the @OfficialNTAs longlist! 🎉 If you love catching up with the goings-on here at Longleat with @Benfogle and @katehumble, help the show get to the shortlist (and finals!) by casting your vote before 29 May here: f.mtr.cool/emdviblquf

Once the show is over, the amazing garden structure that looks like a train carriage will be coming here to Longleat to be part of a brand new Australian-themed garden celebrating conservation and climate resilient planting.

The garden has already been a great success and has won a coveted Silver Gilt medal at the show!

We're back from our trip to see the Australian show garden at the Chelsea Flower Show, and crikey, it's a beaut! 🤩🇦🇺🪴

You'll get to see amazing birds of prey in action and enjoy other amazing interactive experiences with Tiny Titans and our new Wallaby Walkthrough 🦅🕷️🦘 Find out more and get your tickets here: f.mtr.cool/asxnmitqey

Our lions are getting ready for the half term heatwave ☀️ It's meant to be a scorcher of a bank holiday weekend, so why not slap on some sun cream and kick off the May half term with our Close Encounters event!

Thank you to those who took part and made suggestions! Keep your eyes peeled for your next chance to get involved in a keeper Q&A 👀

Time for our first Q&A 🎉 On a particularly windy day, we headed down to Koala Creek to ask Keeper Jon your burning questions about the animals and his experience working at Longleat. Miraculously, he didn't get blown away! 🍃🐨  f.mtr.cool/yozgvqcfht

Wishing Pumpkin the prehensile-tailed porcupine a very happy seventh birthday! 🎉✨ Her muscular tail helps her grip branches, keeping her steady as she climbs.
