Sky Safari The balloon festival with a unique twist, Sky Safari sees a spectacular host of hot air balloons take to the skies over the Longleat Estate for a weekend to remember. Each day, you’ll have breath-taking views of mass launches and tethered displays. It’s even more magical when the sun goes down as the balloons fire up their burners for a stunning world class night glow, choreographed to a bespoke produced soundtrack. It wouldn’t be a Sky Safari without a menagerie of special animal-shaped balloons, too, led by Longleat’s very own Longleat lion.
