Longleat House and Gardens prepares for a major milestone in this week’s “Inside Longleat” on Channel 5. The estate is gearing up for its 75th anniversary, and the staff is working tirelessly to pull off a spectacular celebration. Amidst the historical grandeur, preparations are underway for a three-day festival dubbed “Icons of the Sky.”
However, while the grounds crew grapples with the vagaries of the British weather and the logistics of landing aircraft, VIP Manager Beth faces a different kind of challenge. She’s determined to improve the less-than-stellar reputation of Longleat’s hyenas. Will her PR efforts pay off?
From stately home elegance to safari park excitement, “Inside Longleat” takes viewers behind the scenes of this iconic estate and the 600 people who work there. The series blends history, animal antics, and the everyday realities of running a multifaceted tourist destination. Catch the episode Tuesday, 29 April at 8:00 PM BST on Channel 5.
