Longleat Safari Park and its owners have returned to reality television in two new shows.

Lady Emma Thynn, 40, is among the cast of Channel 4's Ladies of London, which follows “British blue bloods, socialites and ambitious American social climbers” as they navigate the city’s elite social scene.

The show is in its fourth season, and in one recent episode Lady Thynn, the Marchioness of Bath, enters a dinner party competition.

Meanwhile, viewers have been given another glimpse into the world of Longleat through Inside Longleat, which returned to Channel 5 in July for an eight-episode second series.



The programme follows the people who keep the estate near Warminster running and offers an insight into parts of Longleat beyond its famous safari and historic house.

The latest series was filmed over 10 months and includes the people involved in the day-to-day running of the estate, and its sister attraction Cheddar Gorge & Caves.

Longleat chief operating officer Simon Askew said: “We’re incredibly excited to give viewers the chance to see behind the scenes once again and to celebrate the success of the programme so far.”

Inside Longleat started as a one-off programme in 2023, and was followed by a three-part series in 2025.
