Steve Backshall returns to Longleat this half-term

Tuesday, 21 May 2024 01:00

Incredible birds of prey and a huge python called Monty, will be among the fascinating creatures joining naturalist and TV presenter Steve Backshall during his exclusive new live show at Longleat this May half term.

Learn that wolf dogs are not quite the evil predators portrayed in fairy tales, and literally ‘howl’ with amazement as Tarik, from The Wolves of Wiltshire, displays the immense physical strength and speed their species is known for.

“It’s going to be absolutely sensational an opportunity for you to get up close and personal with amazing animals and have lots of fun along the way,” says Steve.

You’ll also hear fascinating facts, marvel at nature's wonderous abilities, and enjoy a great day out, all while supporting our charitable partner TUSK, a conservation charity helping to protect more than 40 threatened species across Africa.

Watch Steve with Logan, the eagle owl, as he prepares for the show:

Steve Backshall Live runs from Saturday, 25th May, to Sunday, 2nd June, with up to five daily shows.
