Longleat opening delayed due to Foot and Mouth
The launch of Longleat's 2001 season has been delayed due to the Foot and Mouth crisis currently sweeping the UK. The Safari Park, Longleat House and the attractions were scheduled to open in a gala opening featuring Lord Bath and Postman Pat on 24 March 2001. However, the park has had to delay the opening until further notice through fear of the disease. General Manager, Tim Moore, says the management's priority is for the welfare of the estate's animals: The Safari park has been their home over the past 30 years and so many of them are at risk. We are extremely sorry to disappoint the thousands of people looking forward to our re-opening. The position will be reviewed as the situation unfolds. Lord Bath added that he 'very much regretted' the situation and that we must all do 'whatever we can to ensure that this dreadful disease is eradicated.'
