Visiting on peak dates

During busy periods, we require online pre-booking for all guests, including Annual Pass holders, to avoid disappointment.

An Annual Pass reservation is a £1 per person charitable donation. With all money going straight to good causes such as TUSK and Koala Life.

When pre-booking your peak time visit, you will be asked to select your preferred Safari Drive-Through entry time. You can choose from between 10am - 12pm, between 12pm -  2pm or between 2pm - 4pm. You may enter the Safari Drive-Through at any time during your chosen slot and you may visit the Main Square attractions both before and after your Safari adventure (subject to Park opening hours); the choice is entirely yours.

During these peak dates, please do not travel unless you have an Annual Pass reservation.

Off-peak visits

During off-peak periods, Annual Pass holders are not required to pre-book online. Simply arrive with your Annual Pass and enjoy your visit as you choose, including accessing the Safari Drive-Through at any time during the day, without preselecting a specific entry slot.

To find out which dates are peak and off-peak, please check our Annual Pass holder booking calendar.

We will ensure we keep these FAQs and the Annual Pass Zone up to date with the latest prebooking information.

If you wish to speak with the team then please contact enquiries@longleat.co.uk.

We do not accept dog walking in the following areas: Longleat House and associated courtyards, the formal grounds, landscaped gardens and the Safari Park and Main Square attractions. This is not applicable to Service Dogs, although restrictions do apply.

Dogs (including service dogs) are not allowed in the Safari Park for animal welfare reasons. Kennelling facilities are available on a first come first served basis which are located at the entrance to the Safari Park. Dogs are not supervised whilst in the kennels and left at the owner's own risk.

The kennels at the Safari Park entrance are basic so we would strongly recommend you bring a water bowl and blanket for your dog to use, as well as something to help keep them entertained.

Service dogs are welcome everywhere at Longleat excluding the Safari Park, Jungle Cruise, Animal Adventure, Jungle Kingdom, Monkey Temple.

Please note, due to the current coronavirus restrictions and limited capacities in place on our park, the Pleasure Walk is currently closed to all walkers.

If you wish to walk your dog, then you can do so on the Pleasure walk which is accessed on foot by the Bath Arms in Horningsham. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and owners are expected to clean up after their dogs at all times. There is no access to the rest of Longleat once you reach the bottom of the Pleasure Walk and no other dog walking on the estate is permitted.

This is only permitted during the Pleasure Walk's opening hours, and Longleat reserves the right to close this area without prior warning. 

For all lost or found property please visit Guest Services in the Main Square, or if you notice after you've left the Park, contact the team via information@longleat.co.uk.

Yes, the National Cycle Network will remain open.

Due to avian flu most of the free range birds, such as turkeys and chickens will be kept within penned areas, but you will be able to view these. The ostrich will be back in the reserve and the lorikeets will remain closed due to Covid restrictions.

Longleat is delighted to be able to announce both Shearwater and Heaven’s Gate are both open.

We would ask people to respect and be sensible about ongoing restrictions, by social distancing and taking additional precautions as necessary to ensure the safety and wellbeing of others.

We would also urge anyone visiting either location by car to make use of the car parks and refrain from parking on the sides of the road.
