Lights, camera, action 🎬 Introducing the tune of the summer that will make you wanna go to Longleat! Ever wondered what makes flamingos pink? Do zebra stripes zig or zag? And which gentle giants brunch on branches? Discover all this and more at Longleat this summer: Part safari, part Elizabethan mansion. See lions and sea lions (get it?), meet meerkats, have a giraffe, wave at wolves, scoff a scone and creak around our curiosity-packed stately home. Get ready to roar a Longleat roar and book a day you’ll long to repeat.

Beware, there's double trouble in the Monkey Drive Through... 🙈🙊 These adorable rhesus macaque twins are very special as multiple births are extremely rare in primates. Both mum and her babies are doing well, it won’t be long before she teaches them how to jump on cars!

Enchantment awaits at The Festival of Light! ✨ Rediscover the stories that shaped us with the UK's original and best lantern experience this winter - book your tickets now at the link in our bio.

Yesterday we waved goodbye to Rusty as he left us for a new life at @blackpoolzoo. 👋 Rusty the four-year-old Amur tiger has been a success story for our breeding programme and now that he’s fully mature, it’s time for him to move on to Blackpool Zoo where he’ll join a female of his own. We’re sad to see him go but very proud that he might one day breed the next generation of Amur tigers.

Conservation is close to our heart here at Longleat. ❤️ That’s why we’re hosting our first ever student conference to inspire the next generation by showcasing some of the work we do. Join us on 12th or 13th October to learn about how animal collections can contribute to conservation with case studies on our water vole reintroduction, supporting wildlife projects in Africa and more. Find out more and book your place via our link in bio.

The pure joy in this video is off the chart. Anne-Marie Wallace is all of us who have ever experienced the fun and frolics of Longleat’s Monkey Drive Through!
