Longleat's bat exhibit to close permanently
The cave had been shut since March due to the pandemic, but won't now reopen
Longleat has announced that it will be permanently closing its bat exhibit after this year.
With the building their housed in being close proximity, they say it would be safer for it to shut.
Meanwhile, they are giving the facility back to Longleat House so it can be restored to its former glory of being an old coach house.
The creatures will be moved to Bicton College in Devon, which specialises in agriculture, and will help educate the students there.
WATCH:
The Wiltshire Safari Park is currently closed due to the national restrictions, with no date planned for reopening yet.
Anyone who had tickets booked or has a season ticket will be reimbursed for the closure.
