Longleat House in the winter.

Between 3rd November and 18th December, coach parties visiting Longleat, in Wiltshire, can book two new group packages.

The ‘BBC Animal Park Tour’, based on the television programme of the same name, will feature a one-hour tour of Longleat House where you will be able to see some of the furniture and artwork shown on the BBC Animal Park show. This will be followed by a 30-minute talk from a staff member featured on the programme who will be happy to answer any questions about what it is like to work on the show and its impact on Longleat.

Another option for groups is the new ‘VIP Longleat House Winter Tour’, also one-hour in duration, which will take in the House’s state rooms, Lord Bath’s murals and some of the family’s private apartments – not normally on view to the public – such as the Dowager’s Suite and one of the family bedrooms. Within the rooms, you will get to see items ranging from hand-painted Chinese wallpaper to a 17th century German armoire.

Both packages can be adapted to suit the interests of your group and include a two-course lunch and a 10% discount in the Lady Bath shop.
