Top British pop rock band McFly are to officially launch the Fireworks Extravaganza at Longleat Safari & Adventure Park on Friday, November 4th.
The boys will be spending the day at Longleat before setting off the fireworks from an open-top bus at a special evening display which starts at 6.30pm.
Although they won’t be performing, the band are planning to enjoy some hands-on animal encounters with a variety of creepy crawlies and also want to meet up with Longleat’s resident family of meerkats in their walkthrough enclosure.
Danny Jones, Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter will be without drummer Harry Judd who is currently starring in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Longleat’s Melissa Burns said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have the boys from McFly here to spend the day with us and it’s already caused quite a stir among our staff.
“For them to be on hand to officially set off our fireworks show in the evening will make it a really special event for everyone,” she added.
Designed by internationally renowned pyrotechnic firm Dragonfire, Fireworks Go Wild (November 4th-5th) features a spectacular fireworks display set to classic animal-related music to mark the official Bonfire Night celebrations and, on November 5th itself, there will also be a real bonfire for visitors to enjoy.
