Longleat 'Icons Of The Sky'

Join us for a truly unforgettable day out as we head to Longleat Safari Park for one of its most spectacular events of the year – Icons of the Sky.

This special day trip combines everything that makes Longleat so loved with the added magic of hundreds of colourful hot air balloons filling the sky. From the moment you arrive, there’s a real sense of excitement as balloonists prepare for launch, creating a vibrant festival atmosphere that’s perfect for all ages.

Your day includes plenty of time to explore the famous safari park, where you can see lions, giraffes, rhinos and monkeys up close as part of the drive-through experience. Beyond the safari, Longleat offers beautiful landscaped gardens, fascinating attractions and the stunning stately home, giving you lots to enjoy at your own pace.

As the day draws on, all eyes turn skywards. Weather permitting, the Icons of the Sky display sees a breathtaking mass ascent of hot air balloons, followed by eye-catching special shapes and an evening glow that lights up the park in a truly magical way. It’s a photographer’s dream and a memory you’ll be talking about long after the coach ride home.

With return coach travel included, this day trip is a relaxed and easy way to experience one of the UK’s most iconic attractions at its most spectacular. Simply sit back, enjoy the journey, and let us take care of the details.
