Longleat, the stately home and safari park in Wiltshire, has announced its main events calendar for 2018.
The Longleat Food & Drink Festival takes place on 23-24 June. It features celebrity chefs taking over the Longhouse with live demos; a pop-up Market Street with street food, drinks and treats; and live music on the Longleat lawns.
The Killer Animatronics Exhibition takes place from 24 March to 31 October. This year groups will be able to see a great white shark in actual size, a super-sized venus flytrap, and the butcher bird.
Sky Safari returns on 14-16 September, the biggest annual hot air balloon festival in Europe. With brightly-coloured balloons in the sky during the days, the evenings will see a nightglow show set to music.
The fifth Festival of Light will take place on selected dates from 9 November. The winter spectacular will have a new theme, yet to be announced.
Each event is included in the Longleat group day ticket, which is £24.50pp for adults for the 2018 season (£22pp for seniors) – except the Festival of Light, which will be £26pp for adults at peak times (£23.40pp for seniors) and £24.40pp off-peak (£21.90).
