Hi, I have a voucher for Longleat, which gives 1/2 price entry for 2 kids, (not a huge saving, but still), if you want it its yours, just pm me your address.
I got it from iceland in a booklet of vouchers, not sure if you would get one if you shopped at your iceland????
But anyway, you can have this if you want it.

We have been to Longleat previously using Tesco Clubcard Deals. £6.50 in vouchers gets you 1 person's entrance. Great offer.

Warnings- Monkey enclosure- Fanastic fun but the monkey's have caused damaged to our car on two occasions.

First time- ripping off the windsreen sprayer nozzle and then chewing at the tube that supplies water and eating it. It was so funny I was trying to shout at my husband to just spray the monkey with water but the words couldn't come out of my mouth as I was laughing too much.

Second time- Different car- We had a Renault Megane with two sun roofs. We could see the monkeys on top of the car taking great pleasure in pulling one of the roof trims off. Those monkeys are very strong!.

Great memories, however if you decide to bypass the monkey enclosure thee are still interesting things to see. We stopped by a lion who decided to roar near our car, we could feel the vibrations through our feet.

Also the deer enclosure, you can buy food to give to them from the car.

Out of the animal enclosue is a fantastic wooden adventure playground, boat to se the goillas and seals and a lot more.

Love the place.

Am now checking how many Tesco vouchers I have to go again!!

Have got Tesco vouchers to go to Longleat in half-term; I'm very nervous about driving the car through but I'll do it with gritted teeth! Does the boat cost any extra? What about the Maze, does that cost extra? Thanks

When I last went, which was a few years ago, you had a list of what was included on the ticket and you could go back another day and do the bits you'd missed. That, with a picnic, made it pretty good.

As well as clubcard deals, sometimes local Tescos have given vouchers for free entry. (Till receipts - can't remember if it was free child with full-paying adult. Pretty good saving).

I live a couple miles away from Longleat Don't worry about driving your car through. There are staff in 4x4s sat observing in each animal enclosure - you just sound your horn for attention and stay in the car. Not sure if the monkeys enclosure is open again, has been shut for a couple of years due to monkey herpes or something! The maze and boat don't cost any extra. It's always best to do the boat early on in the day as the queues are always huge as the day goes on. We usually start with the boats, then do the other more central bits then do the safari park last
