Longleat

Yes, Longleat runs its own Armed Forces discount on Day Tickets, open to serving Army, Navy and RAF personnel and to veterans, with the saving currently advertised at up to 20% off when you book online in advance. Tickets must be booked ahead of your visit and a valid ID card shown on arrival.

Whatever your ticket, the latest Longleat offers and deals are listed on this page and updated regularly, so you can save on a day out at the safari park and stately home even if you're booking outside the Armed Forces discount window.

Does Longleat offer a military discount?

Longleat runs its own Armed Forces discount direct through its website rather than through a third-party scheme.
The Armed Forces discount is available to members of the Army, Navy and RAF, as well as veterans and dependents.
At the time of writing,
Longleat is offering up to 20% off tickets with its Armed Forces discount
, booked through the dedicated Armed Forces ticket link on the Longleat website.

There are some firm conditions attached.
You must book these tickets online in advance, at least a day before you plan to visit, and must bring a valid employee ID card, veteran's card or Defence Discount card to Longleat on the day of your visit.

This discount cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers or promotions, and is not available with House & Garden or Festival of Light Twilight tickets.

It's applicable on day tickets only and is not applicable on purchases throughout the park, VIP Experiences, Accommodation stays or any optional extras.

Longleat separately runs an Emergency Services discount, and
Blue Light Card holders and the lifesaving community, including emergency service workers, fire service, police service and community first aid responders, get an exclusive discount on Longleat Day Tickets when booked in advance online
. That scheme sits apart from the forces discount and has its own booking link and terms.

How to claim the Longleat military discount

1. Check the live Longleat offers listed on this page first, in case there's a better fit for your visit date.
2. Head to Longleat's dedicated Armed Forces ticket page rather than the standard booking page, since the discount only applies through that link.
3. Select your visit date and number of tickets. Remember the discount covers Day Tickets only, not House Tours, VIP Experiences or accommodation.
4. Complete your booking at least a day before your visit. Same-day or on-the-gate bookings cannot use this discount.
5. Bring a valid MOD ID card, veteran's card or Defence Discount card with you on the day. Staff will check this at the gate.
6. Keep your booking confirmation to hand, and avoid trying to add any other offer or voucher to the same transaction, as the discount cannot be combined with other promotions.

Who is eligible

Longleat's Armed Forces discount is available to members of the Army, Navy and RAF, as well as veterans and dependents
, meaning serving Regulars, ex-Forces personnel and their immediate family travelling with them can all use it on the same booking. Reservists and cadet forces adult volunteers are not explicitly named on Longleat's own eligibility page, so if your status isn't a clear match for "Army, Navy, RAF or veteran," it's worth checking directly with Longleat's guest services before you book, since Longleat itself advises contacting the park if you're unsure. MOD civil servants and emergency services staff should use the separate Emergency Services and Blue Light Card discount instead of the Armed Forces one.

Other ways to save at Longleat

Start with the Longleat offers and deals listed on this page, since they're checked and updated regularly and often cover a wider range of tickets and dates than the Armed Forces discount alone. Beyond that:

• An advance booking discount is automatically applied to tickets booked before midnight the day before your visit
  , so booking ahead pays off even without a specific discount code.
• Groups of 15 or more can receive up to 20% off, with online booking available for group sizes up to 32
  , which is worth knowing if you're organising a unit or family reunion trip.
• If you live locally,
  Longleat offers a locals' discount to visitors in a defined range of BA postcodes, giving unlimited entry to the main season
  .
• Frequent visitors may find an Annual or Seasonal Membership works out cheaper than repeat Day Tickets.
  Annual membership prices start from £108.75, or from £71.20 for a one-year seasonal membership
  , and
  members get access to Guided House Tours at a discounted price of £4.95 per adult and £3.70 per child
  .

Longleat and the forces community

Longleat Enterprises Ltd has signed the Armed Forces Covenant, committing to honour the Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community, and recognising the value serving personnel, both Regular and Reservists, veterans and military families contribute to the business.
The estate has also hosted forces-focused events on site, and
General Sir Nick Carter, then Chief of the General Staff of the British Army, visited Longleat to officially witness the signing of the Armed Forces Covenant by Viscount Weymouth
, underlining the estate's long-standing relationship with the military community in Wiltshire.
