Things to do with kids in Salisbury and Wiltshire

The city of Salisbury is at the heart of Wiltshire, in the South-West of England.

It’s most famous for its cathedral, with what was once the tallest spire in England: climb all 322 steps to the top if you’re feeling brave enough.

There are lots of other things to do with kids in Salisbury and Wiltshire, from baby activities like swimming and singing sessions to venues and entertainers for children's parties.

Salisbury Museum has plenty of hands-on activities for children and runs special under-fives days, while Longleat Safari Park is well worth doing, with its drive-through route that gets you up close to monkeys, big cats and more. Back in the city itself, why not try an escape room or give yourself a fright on a ghost walk?

A visit to the nearby Stonehenge is a must if you’re in the Wiltshire area, and don’t miss the picturesque Lacock village (the location for many TV period dramas), kite-flying at Westbury White Horse and motor racing at the Castle Combe circuit.

Wiltshire is also renowned for its car boot sales, so if you've got unwanted and outgrown stuff to sell, or just fancy a weekend wander amongst the stalls, use our listings to find what's taking place in the area.
