Outreach Visits
Animal discovery in your classroom
Would your students enjoy seeing some of Longleat’s animal residents in their very own classroom? Well great news, a range of them could be making their way to your school on an Outreach visit.
Whilst Longleat is closed and preparing for new events, our animal keepers will travel to you to deliver an education session that you will never forget, bringing with them a number of different species. Your class will be given the opportunity to see them up close, studying their shape, size, movement as well as learning about their habitat, lifestyle and diet.

There are a number of topics available, however if you have something in mind do let us know at the enquiry stage and we can see if it is possible.
