Longleat Safari Park will reopen on Tuesday, February 22 after damage caused by Storm Eunice last week. 

It had shut on Friday due to the danger to life caused by Storm Eunice, which saw the Met Office issue a red weather warning for some southern parts of the UK.

It remained closed on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday after the estate's trees were damaged and power disrupted. 

In a post on social media, Longleat said: "After a few windy days on the estate we're delighted to say that the park will be back open from tomorrow (Tues 22nd).

"There's plenty of time to plan a trip to Longleat this half-term! There's loads to come and see including our world-famous Safari Drive-through and new features like our Animal Encounter shows, carousel ride, and Photographer of the Year Exhibition.

"Don't forget to drop by Koala Creek to see if you can sneak a peek of our sweet little koala joey too."

The park says it is essential for people to pre-book their visits to guarantee entry.
