We had a lovely day yesterday at Longleat to see the Festival of Lights. It was a trip with a local coach company, the first time we have been with them and it was great. We had a trip around the safari park, saw loads of animals...lions, tigers, cheetahs and even had a herd of camels surrounding us. The ride through the monkey park was so funny..they kept away from the coaches but were all over the cars trying to steal wipers, window trims etc. we also went around the house which was all decorated with themes of different children's stories, so we saw Cinderalla, Snow White, Red Riding hood etc and it was lovely to see all the children chatting to the characters.
At four o'clock the lights were switched on and they were amazing, huge displays including a Chinese dragon, a group of elephants, palace, animals, fish.......mainly based on a Chinese theme, not really Christmassy although there was an enormous tree all lit up. Absolutely fantastic, well worth a visit. We were expecting terrible weather and although it was cold it wasn't too bad; Rained a bit just as the lights were switched on but then it stopped and we just had the odd spot or too so we were very lucky. I will try and upload some pics but they don't really do it justice.

I look forward to seeing the photos.
