Due to damage from Storm Burt, the Wiltshire Safari Park closed for safety reasons on Saturday and Sunday and put automatic refunds in place for guests who had booked to see The Festival of Light, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
Scott Ashman, Head of Operations, said: “We are grateful for all the messages of support and the understanding shown by guests whose visits were cancelled over the weekend due to Storm Bert. Safety is and always will be our priority and we are fortunate that we didn’t experience any injuries to staff or animals.
“Our teams have been working hard to clear roads and train track, rebuilding fences as well as securing and repairing the lanterns for The Festival of Light.
“Refunds are still being processed and this will continue as a priority over the next couple of days. We hope the majority of people will be able to find new dates to visit us.”
The Festival of Light runs until 5 January.
