On Saturday 30th November 47 members and guests enjoyed a visit to Longleat. The coach arrived at the African Village, Longleat about 11am with just enough time for a hot drink before setting off on a 2 hour drive through the Safari Park with its wide array of animals. We then had time to explore Longleat and its beautiful house decorated to represent a Christmas Party in the 1920's.
By 4.30pm as darkness fell we were able to experience the Festival Light. This year the theme was Myths and Legends with fantastic illuminated displays of legends, monsters and characters from Greece and around the world. The photos do not do justice to number and scale of the illuminations.
Just a few of the animals in the Safari Park.
A Christmas Tree of Light, King Midas and leprechauns
Some scary creatures!
More myths and monsters.
This is all Greek to me!
St George and the Dragon makes an appearance.
