The Festival of Light at Longleat will display iconic scenes from much-loved tales

The festival at the Wiltshire attraction is back from 11th November 2023 to 7th January 2024, inviting visitors to step straight into the pages of their favourite books, reimagined as stunning lanterns.

Among the new displays for Treasured Tales: The Festival of Light will be iconic scenes from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and The Wizard of Oz.

Groups of 12 or more qualify for discounted rates on The Festival of Light tickets but must pre-booked with the Group Bookings Team in advance of the booking date.

This year’s event is set to feel more festive than ever, with a new Christmas Market area, the 15-metre Enchanted Christmas Tree show and the Santa Train.

A new light show will round off the evening, illuminating Longleat House and culminating in a show-stopping fountain display on the lake.
