Longleat Festival of Light
Longleat undergoes a transformation for the festive season, with spectacular lanterns which illuminate as darkness falls. The theme of the lantern display changes each year. As well as strolling amongst these amazing scenes, you can explore the ground floor rooms of Longleat House itself, which is beautifully decorated for Christmas. Despite the chill outside, Longleat’s safari drive-through remains open, and you can spot lions, tigers, zebras, and many other exotic creatures. A boat trip on the lake is another way view the beautiful and extensive grounds of this unique property.
Salisbury Christmas Market
Soak in the festive atmosphere of the magical Salisbury Christmas Market, which sees this medieval city transformed into a winter wonderland. Browse the traditional stalls with plenty of festive food, handmade crafts and gift items on offer, along with a good dose of Christmas cheer.
