Longleat Safari Park & Festival of Light 2026

A Magical Christmas Adventure from Day to Night

Join Richard Taylor Travel for a spectacular festive day out to Longleat Safari Park & Festival of Light, combining incredible wildlife, family attractions and one of the UK's most impressive Christmas light experiences.

Your Longleat admission includes both the famous Safari Drive-Through and Festival of Light, giving you the chance to experience the Estate from daytime right through to its magical transformation after dark.

Experience the Longleat Safari

Your adventure begins with Longleat's famous Safari Drive-Through. Opened in 1966 as Britain's first drive-through safari park, it offers an unforgettable opportunity to see an incredible variety of animals as we travel through the reserve.

Travelling by coach means everyone can sit back and enjoy the Safari experience together – no driving, navigating or worrying about the journey home afterwards.

After the Safari, you'll have time to explore more of Longleat's attractions, which can include Animal Adventure, Koala Creek, Jungle Kingdom, Bat Cave, Jungle Cruise, Family Farmyard, Adventure Castle, the Hedge Maze and beautiful Estate grounds.

Festival of Light – Legendary Worlds

As darkness falls, Longleat is transformed for its spectacular Festival of Light.

For 2026, the exciting Legendary Worlds theme brings myths, heroes and magical landscapes to life with more than 1,000 spectacular lanterns throughout the park.

Journey through the legendary lost city of Atlantis, where an incredible life-sized blue whale creates a breathtaking centrepiece. Continue your adventure amongst enormous dragons, giants and mythical creatures, and discover dramatic scenes including Thor battling the World Serpent.

There's also plenty of festive atmosphere to enjoy, including The Enchanted Christmas Tree Show, featuring Longleat's giant singing Christmas tree.

A Fantastic Christmas Day Out

Longleat offers something for all ages, making this a wonderful Christmas experience all.

Enjoy wildlife and attractions during the day, stop for food, refreshments or a little Christmas shopping, then watch the Estate come alive with colour as evening arrives.
