Every year the festival is based on a different theme, taking visitors around illuminated trails across its 30 acre estate, ‘bringing the spirit of the festive season to lustrous light’.
From 11th to 13th September, Longleat’s exclusive hot air balloon festival returns to the estate. This year’s Sky Safari event will be bigger than ever, as a range of colourful hot air balloons take to the sky above the grounds, plus its Night Glows event will also be available, where the hot balloons will take flight in the evening, inlightening the estate with its flames.
Firework displays will also fill the skies across Longleat from 29th until 31st October, inspired by ‘atmospheric music’ to entertain visitors. New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day will include firework displays too, as part of the Festival of Light event.
