During the 2023 festive period, spanning November 2023 to January 2024, we had the privilege of working with our client to create an extraordinary winter experience. Our aim was to transform their outdoor space into a magical Winter Wonderland for families to enjoy. With our dazzling Snow Effects, we brought Christmas to life at Longleat Safari Park.
Our client sought to offer a unique, immersive, and enchanting winter experience at their Safari Park during the festive period. Their goal was to create a magical, snow-covered environment to captivate visitors and provide an authentic wintry atmosphere.
The snow installation involved covering a large outdoor area with Snow Effects, requiring a uniform and realistic snow scene. We had to carefully select the right type and measure of flocking snow to achieve a stunning and consistent effect. The Safari Park featured a range of terrains, each requiring tailored approaches for snow application to ensure uniformity and authenticity.
Additionally, we needed to consider weather resilience of our snow scene. Given the duration of our installation, we needed to account for varying weather conditions. These could impact the appearance, application and removal, and longevity of the Snow Effects.
Delivering high-quality Snow Effects within our client’s budget and timeframe was crucial. We aimed to minimise the need for frequent maintenance site visits and touch-ups.
To ensure a picture-perfect, realistic, and enduring winter scene, we designed a comprehensive plan incorporating various types of flocking snow and a foam snow blanket. This approach ensured that we provided an authentic appearance while maintaining durability throughout the festive period.
Prior to installation, we conducted thorough site visits to evaluate the terrain and environmental conditions. These assessments enabled us to customise our Snow Effect strategy, addressing the specific needs of different areas throughout the Safari Park and ensuring the best possible results for our client. Based on our evaluations, we used plant-friendly flock and a specialised flock designed for more challenging terrains. Additionally, we closely monitored weather conditions to identify optimal times for application, enhancing coverage and longevity.
By ensuring a thorough initial application, we reduced the need for frequent maintenance visits, aligning with our client’s budget and ensuring a seamless Winter Wonderland experience throughout the installation period.
Our transformation of Longleat Safari Park into a Winter Wonderland was a resounding success. The Snow Effects created a magical, immersive environment that delighted visitors and heightened the festive atmosphere! Our tailored approach and thorough planning ensured an authentic and lasting snow scene, making Christmas at Longleat a truly unforgettable experience for all who visited.
