Concerts & Shows
The Athenaeum Centre, a stunning 19th-century building on the High Street, has undergone various transformations throughout its history. Originally established as a literary institution, it was converted into a theatre in 1858. The current auditorium, once a lecture room, was turned into a stage in 1912. In the late-90s, the venue was saved by a philanthropic organization and has since become an integral part of the community.
Beautiful building. Fantastic performance by some very talented kids

If you haven't used the Athenaeum Centre before,check it out now! Not only a brilliant Xmas Panto but live reasonably priced tribute bands, good films, plays, etc. Also a patrons bar. If you want a good reasonably priced evening out, use this venue. It's a must.

Mountain peak
Cley Hill in Wiltshire has gained fame as a prominent landmark in the Warminster region. This stunning mountain peak offers stunning vistas of both Wiltshire and Somerset, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and stargazers alike. Administered by the National Trust since 1954, Cley Hill was generously donated by Henry Thynne, the 6th Marquess of Bath.
This is a very popular place to visit. Can get busy in the very small car parking area. You need to wear sturdy footwear and a jacket for those windy days. From the bottom of the hill, you can walk all around the base or go straight up to the top, depending how fit you feel! On a lovely day, you could have a picnic or just admire the views. Longleat forest can be seen or magnificent fields to the opposite side of the hill, and it is FREE to park up and walk around. Dogs are welcomed, but pick up your dogs poo and take any litter home with you. Keep Britain tidy 🙂
Sally Cowley — Google review
Small car park, but its free so I can't complain. Cley Hill is a great little hike, probably much easier and more enjoyable in the summer. It can be very wet, muddy and slippery in the winter

What a wonderful place to visit, great place for exercising the dog, or just a leisurely stroll around this National Trust ancient monument. The climb to the top is definitely worth the effort as the views are panoramic and stunning!
AJ Staffer — Google review
Lovely walk, you can take an easy (longer) walk up and around the hill or if you’re feeling more energetic you can take a much more direct route straight up the hill, be warned this route is very steep. Once at the top you are rewarded with great views of the surrounding countryside. There is an OS trig point on the hill.

Warminster Lake Pleasure Grounds is a charming recreational area situated in the southeast corner of Bargate Cottage. During the summer season, visitors can enjoy the tearoom and boathouse owned by Shearwater Sailing Club. This park caters to people of all ages, offering various activities such as walking around the lake or letting children play in the designated area. Additionally, there are ample seating options available throughout the park, along with a small but delightful café.
This is a really lovely park area for children and a lake for walking around, taking the dog out and in the summer for boating. The playground has lots of imaginative apparatus including a volcano and lava trail with obstacles which my 3year old grandson loved. In the summer there's a splash fountain area too. There are swings, roundabouts, slides and climbing frames as well as a skateboard course for older children. The walk around the lake was very pleasant. There's also a cafe and toilets.

Lovely big lake full of ducks, swans and geese, big play area for the kids, younger on one half and older things on the other and a splash park but in the middle. (bring the kids a towel and change of clothes) There are open grass areas to sit for picnics and a handful of benches and tables dotted around . They had little ice cream hut, toilets (although no toilet paper and i can imagine the queue will to be big on busy days, there was a fairly constant queue while we was there ). They also had tennis court, basketball court, Mini golf, and you can even hire a little lake row boat .

Lovely place to walk around the lake and then into the meadows aswell. There are often events going on throughout the year. The new splash pad gets busy in the summer. A new set of tennis courts been installed to make the park standout. You can hire a rowing boat or canoe to go out onto the lake. There is a pavilion cafe where you can purchase food and drink aswell for relatively cheap prices!!! Really good place to visit!

The play areas and courts have all been upgraded since the Local Council took over from the County. We went specifically for a walk around the boating lake and it was just long enough to stretch our legs for half an hour.

Found this place by chance and what a quiet spot it is hidden away in Warminster. Plenty to do here for the kids what with a big play area and large paddling pool, there's tennis courts, large boating lake, pitch & put golf, basketball and a Pavilion cafe that serves hot and cold food and drinks. Ideal place to be if you want to escape and relax in a quiet part of town.

This is a lovely park for all ages. A play park all year, with brilliant water play area in the summer; a skateboard area; tennis courts; multi use games area with basketball hoops; adult exercise equipment; a cafe, and our favourite a lovely lake with waterbirds and planted flower beds. Our dog loves walking here.

Nature preserve
Smallbrook Meadows Nature Reserve covers a little over 30 acres and is divided into six smaller fields. It includes a pond and a series of ditches created in 1989. Notably, three of the fields used to be farmland that was fertilized, which means they lack wildflowers during summer compared to the other three unimproved fields.
I used to live near here... And I am amazed at how this area has been developed and managed as a wildlife site.. Fabulous!

Quite a busy pathway with dog walkers and not as big as I was expecting but still a lovely hidden gem for a little wander if you are visiting the park. The signage could be better at the end of the path but bear round to left and join next path way on the bend in road and it will take you back to the Park.

Great for a quiet walk. Usually lots of wildlife around - I've seen rabbits, swans, woodpeckers, pheasants, herons, and even a couple of deer. Family and dog friendly (though dogs need to be leashed, lots of wildlife around and one of the paths goes through a field of cows!).

American restaurant
During the first day of arrival, a dinner was enjoyed at Huck's, an American restaurant. The children's meal consisted of cold tomato pasta, while the burger, Mac cheese, and loaded skins were all satisfying and full of flavor. The quantity of each adult dish was substantial enough to leave one feeling satisfied. Furthermore, there is a small soft play area available for both younger and older kids to keep them entertained while waiting for or after finishing their meals.
You go downstairs to access the restaurant. You have to pre book and they where I understanding as we held up by the quiz competition. You order via a QR code, food and drinks where delivered promptly after ordering. Nachos where tasty, burger meal had fresh ingredients which was nice. Prices are relatively similar across the shops and restaurants on site. On the night of visiting, it was not too busy which can a bonus. Staff where really lovely

Came on the first and last night of our honeymoon, the last night especially was wonderful, food incredible and our waitress Tabitha noticed I had bride written on my facemask at the end of a meal and insisted on gifting us a bottle of bubbly and some brownies as a send off/ congratulations.

We had dinner here the first day we arrived. Kids food (tomato pasta) was cold. The burger, Mac cheese and loaded skins were all good and flavourful. Would definitely go again. Quantity of each adult dish was decent - we did not leave hungry! There is a little soft play area there for little ones and older kids so can keep children busy while waiting on their food and / or after they have eaten. I would recommend a meal there when at Centre Parcs. Only downside was it is not open for lunch - think it’s a missed opportunity.

Average Experience, Room for Improvement I recently visited Huck's Restaurant at Center Parcs, Longleat with my family during a short holiday and while there were some positives, there were also areas that really need improvement. The atmosphere as always was fun, and the general service was positive. However, there were a few aspects that fell short of expectations and one major concern related to a family members and their dietary requirements. One significant issue was the lack of knowledge and attention given to guests with allergen-related food concerns. It was evident that some of the staff need further training in handling such situations and the potential impact for getting this wrong. We were fortunate on this occasion that the issue was spotted, and rectified, without any medical intervention being required. The oversight made it difficult for us to truly relax and enjoy our meals with total confidence all would be fine. This needs to be addressed by enhancing staff awareness and ensuring they are well-prepared to accommodate guests with allergen concerns while ensuring staff realise that dietary requests are often not lifestyle choices, but health related. Prices at Huck's Restaurant are on the higher side. While the atmosphere and general service is commendable, it's essential that the quality of food matches the price point. Unfortunately, during my visit, the food did not meet its usual standard. This was disappointing, as I have previously enjoyed meals of higher quality here. In summary, my experience at Huck's Restaurant was average. The ambiance and general service were positive aspects. However, the management and staff should prioritise retraining on handling allergen-related food orders to ensure the safety and satisfaction of all guests. Additionally, attention should be given to maintaining the usual high standards of food quality.

The Royal Oak is an exceptional establishment, boasting a charming and inviting atmosphere. It is conveniently situated with ample parking available. The staff members are welcoming and efficiently seated us at our table, which was accompanied by extensive menus. The delectable cuisine matched the impressive variety offered in the menu. Moreover, the desserts were so generous that even someone who is pregnant couldn't finish theirs due to its substantial size.
Oh my word!! Wait till you see the pictures!! This place is just brilliant, so a lovely little pub with parking space just out the front and sides. Greeted by the team and shown to a table, big menus and same as the food! 🤤...got puddings as well and the wife who's pregnant couldn't finish hers! Was that big. Seriously clean and tidy!!

Not impressed at all after continuous quarterly bookings for the last 2 years or so. My friends and I come to Corsley every 3-4 months for dinner and a good catch up. It was a good location for all of us to meet up. We had become used to the good food and excellent service. This month something had changed. The service was lacklustre and the food had lost its' usual quality. So much so, that my pals and I have decided to find somewhere more suitable and worthy of our custom. I wouldn't normally comment but every one of us found issues with our order. The waitress seemed completely disinterested in serving and added to our unfortunate experience. We could not believe how the level of service and quality of food had dropped since our last visit in August. We were extremely disappointed to say the least.

We were looking for somewhere to have a good old pub lunch and boy did we find it. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, the food was amazing, From the steak to the burger, everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. I don't think I've ever had a chocolate brownie that was that good before. It is also a dog friendly pub, where dogs are welcomed throughout. Would highly recommend!

Professional. Not our first visit to this popular and pleasant pub. Won't be our last either. We booked a table for Sunday lunchtime. It was clear that they were very busy on arrival. Sadly, it soon became obvious that our initial drinks order had been forgotten and we started to feel overlooked for taking our food orders. Eventually I had to remind the staff. They were apologetic and our waitress immediately put things right whilst keeping a polite and friendly demeanour. Even so, it was an hour before we ate. At the end of the meal I asked the manager if she would consider giving us a discount given the long wait. Her offer was far more generous than any of us expected and we felt that the response and apology was genuine and meaningful. That's how to run a business and ensure guests return. Our other visits have always been utterly fuss free and I highly recommend a visit.

Popped in yesterday for food after a day in Longlete. Both ladies working were lovely, we had a lady with autism we support with us, and she wasn't happy with the way her food was arranged on the plate. So the kind lady took her dinner away, cooked her some chips foc and placed her salmon and chips separately, she saved the day and the dinner was devourer. You really went above and beyond for us. Fantastic customer service. Thank you so much our hero x

Café Rouge is a chain bistro known for serving up classic French dishes in a retro Parisian setting. The menu features favorites like croque-monsieurs and mussels, as well as breakfast served all day. The ambiance is described as having a tight setup, making it more suitable for families. Customers have praised the tasty food and good coffee, with recommendations for the flat white. Some have noted that the portion sizes could be larger, while others found the onion soup lacking in cheese.
A lovely breakfast and friendly service. The staff were busy, as it was arrivals/departures day, and the service was 'spot on'.
Stephen Lewis — Google review
The meal was absolutely shocking and the customer service is disappointed , I’ve been to cafe rouge so many time but this is a disappointment. Firstly my friend ordered a chicken baguette but got a steak baguette instead, he didn’t know so he took a bite and realised told the waitress “Paige” and she came to us ask if he have taken a bite, he said he have and she told us that he shouldn’t have done that because now they can’t sell it! We were stunt by her comment! Secondly we, me and my other friend ordered mussels not only it tasted fishy, bland and un-fresh but there were rotten mussels on there! So we doubled checked if before we ask to change the meal because we don’t want to be difficult and I appreciate how hard they work, but she kept telling us that the mussels are freshly delivered and trying to reassure us that it’s fine. I told her to have a look at these rotten mussels and does she expects us to eat that? She went on a strop and the manager Sammy came and took care of this instead. Which as a manager you would thought they would be pleasant at dealing with complaints and meal mix up and we were nice! We actually apologise for being difficult but the food is rotten? but their customer service is absolutely disgusting. Her tone of voice was arrogant and aggressive as in making us feel we were being difficult! And on top of this, they were not busy at all, I now know why they have no customers!

Just off the treats shop and what a coincidence I might add. They had a theme but hard to tell, specifically what that was. The smashed avocado with smoked salmon and mushrooms was really good.

Set up is really tight for families since they are the main target.

We've eaten at Cafe Rouge all over the country so assumed it was a safe bet. Off to a bad start when the waitress didn't know any of the wine list, the assistant manager tried to palm us off with squash instead of the advertised cartons for the kids meal, and took 4 trips to the till to take our order as he "doesn't use an iPad". We shared a flatbread, which was the only enjoyable part of the meal. 3 beef bourguignon were chewy, bland and really poor overall. The truffle burger was overcooked but the kids fish goujons were actually ok. We were offered a free dessert (sticky toffee pudding) which was average and got a cold kids brownie (which apparently is supposed to be cold - first time for everything). Waiting times between courses were substantial and no one in sight for 10mins+ when it came time to pay. Terrible experience in all regards. Same assistant manager admitted "it all comes vacuum packed". £20 a pop for a microwave meal - save yourself the money and buy one from the onsite shop. It'll taste better too!

Italian restaurant
Restaurant
Bella Italia is a laid-back eatery that offers a variety of traditional Italian pasta, pizza, and grill dishes. They also have a special menu for children. The waiter had good knowledge of Italian cuisine but lacked proficiency in the language. However, they were upfront about the available options and provided polite and helpful service. Despite being only 1/8 full, the service was somewhat slow, possibly to create an appearance of busyness.
We attended the Bella Italia here at Center Parcs Longleat on the last night of our stay and it was a great experience. Our waiter was very nice and friendly and was genuinely interested in our stay. Our food was delivered very quickly within 15 minutes on the robot cat waiter which was very modern and interesting. The food itself was very delicious and the drinks also. I highly reccomend this restaurant.

Visited this evening with my 3yr old and husband at 6pm. On arrival it was really quiet inside and we asked for a booth which they obliged. No colours or crayons etc for my son which was disappointing. It took 15 mins for us to order drinks, and with that one of them was wrong. Friendly waitress who corrected it all. Starters came out within about 5 mins of ordering which were nice however we waited 1hr 15mins for our mains to come! At the 45 mins point I asked if there was problems in the kitchen to which I was told all the staff are new. My son was understandably getting fed up and I asked if his could be cooked ( a 🍕 pizza) and brought out! His then arrived and ours 10mins later. His was burnt on the base! My husbands pasta was nice enough and so was my pizza but tbh we were all hungry and fed up. I don't understand why they couldn't have told us there was issues in the kitchen. Got us some more drinks of means of apology or some garlic bread. Instead we got left and ignored with a 3yr old and waited a silly amount of time. I was very close to leaving and walking out. The manager brought our food over and not a hint of a sorry. The kids meal came with a dessert and we asked got the ice lolly to go and the bill. The bill came and no ice lolly. We then had to prompt the waitress who was clearly confused and she asked if we wanted ice cream. Such a shame this has happened Bella Italia needs to seriously up its game. You have a captive market being in a prime spot in CP and no one seems to give a hoot!

Our waiter definitely knew his Italian but unfortunately for him we didn't know a load of Italian. Upfront with what they had and didn't have, very polite and helpful as needed. Service was a bit slow considering it was 1/8 full. It was more dragging it out to make it look busy in my opinion. Food was nice to be fair to them, we was given a booth but again they are also experiencing some shortage with some products. Not helpful, when your approaching busy periods providing Boris doesn't put us in lock down as long as people behave. Alessio well done to you man

Pleasantly surprised considering every other restaurant we've tried at CP has been awful. Great selection of starters, mozzarella sticks, meatballs, Nach-olis and Gnocchi were delicious, really flavoured and hot! Mains were good, nothing too special, served hot and tasted good. The robot cat waiters were a great addition.

Been coming to Centre Parcs for years and always eat here. Boy it has gone down hill. Kids meals were microwaved and had cold spots, some parts hot some cold. This is the fastest way to get food poisoning, any fool knows that. My starter was calamari, deep fat fried to destruction. Nearly broke my teeth and it was tasteless. Next course consisted of microwaved children's meals (tasteless pap),under cooked pizza with plastic tasting toppings, again I strongly suspect frozen. The only thing in my opinion that was edible were the French Fries. All in all a very poor experience. Steaks now not available on the menu, I suspect this is because you would actually need a chef with experience to cook it to order. Seems post pandemic profit is the driving force not quality. Place was half empty which I had never seems before on a Friday night at 7 pm.

Really good experience here. My boys loved watching the cat robot bring the meals around to the table. Aaron provided wonderful service and couldn't be more helpful and is a credit to the restaurant. Food arrived very quickly and was exactly as you would expect from Bella Italia.

The six of us had a family night out. We went last year to Elveden Forest and the Bela Italia was nice but the pizza was like something you buy in a supermarket so we weren't expecting much. How wrong could we be. The service was great and the food was excellent. We had a wonderful time. It tickled us how much the staff had to shove the robots out of the way. I hope all other Bela Italias are like this one

We really enjoyed our time at the restaurant while staying at Centre Parcs. The waitress Jane was particularly helpful, friendly and smiley. She helped to make our visit even more pleasurable. The food was tasty and the kids menu especially good valu

Had dinner yesterday at 7:15, booked ahead online with deposit £5 per head, later taken off the bill. The waiter looking after us was very polite and attentive. The food was a bit disappointing if I have to be honest. We had margarita, meat feast, plain spaghetti, dough balls, linguini pesto pasta and rigatoni tomato pasta. Pizzas and dough balls were on the cold side. Pastas were not hot either but yummy. Cocktail was mostly ice. Mostly will give them a go again when back at center parks.

Very bad. It took whole hour to get our order. They are trying to be super modern with running serving robots around, but these things slow the whole service down. Poor waitresses are waiting for them things to get to the right places with the correct food, then they are all the time under the feet of running staff… I can only imagine how annoying it must be for waitresses. I ordered seafood linguine in tomato sauce but the dish had nothing to do with it. The was pasta in pasta water, bit of olive oil and few cherry tomatoes. Watery, not seasoned overall bad. I refused to eat it. Would not go back. Las iguanas next door is much better value for money and service is faster.

Restaurant
Las Iguanas - Center Parcs Longleat is a contemporary chain dining room that offers flame-grilled Latin American dishes and shared plates. The restaurant provides entertainment for kids with a stream, fishes, and soft play. Customers can order online or call 01985 848068 to place their orders. The interior decor is pleasant, and the service is good. However, some cocktails were unavailable during the visit, which is disappointing.
What a fantastic experience! Special thanks to Tia for making my girlfriends birthday dinner absolutely magical. Tia was an amazing host to us, very attentive, super lovely and polite and made us feel very welcome. The food that we sampled was epic! So tasty and moreish, the kind of food that you just get stuck in, get messy and enjoy. The cocktails were awesome, very well made, beautiful presentation and fantastic selection. Simply put, if you are in Center Parcs you have to visit Las Iguanas!

Had dinner here last night with my 3yrs old and husband. Decor inside is lovely, and service was good. Sadly half the cocktails were unavailable, never understand how this can happen in restaurants. Starters arrived quickly, were tasty but very small. Mains were delicious but lacked on presentation. Literally a burger and chips, no garnish or coleslaw. Kids meal was good, chicken nuggest and chips and beans but £8 is expensive for that and some jelly. Drink not included in price. All in all pleasant enough. Quick food, portions small and service friendly.

Ignore all the bad reviews. Hundreds of people who enjoyed their meal rarely post reviews after eating out. . But my wife and I are on a budget and we thought we would splash out and treat ourselves. We were not disappointed. In our pictures, you will see our food. I had the XinXim curry. My wife had the Burrito with Chipotle beef. We also ordered single nachos with shredded beef. The young lady who served us was very caring and was happy to help. She checked in with us regularly to see if we were OK. The cocktails were good and the food arrived in good time. 👍 The XinXim curry was mind-blowing. I'm a big guy and was worried that the portions would be small. But it was a proper-sized meal. So much flavour and each mouthful was a treat. I had ordered the Nachos to top up our meal just in case the mains were too small. But we struggled to eat it all. My wife's meal very tasty. She is Mauritian and loves spicy, flavourful food and she loved her dinner. Beware......if you are not good with chilli....the red finger chili's are hot, but my wife loved them. We sat back at the end of the meal completely satisfied. The restaurant was full and the service was good.👌 I knew going into the restaurant that it was going to be more expensive than I normally spend. But with food that tastes that good, you don't mind paying a little bit more. A lovely evening out. And when we return we will be visiting it again.

It is set out beautifully with the fish ponds running through. The food was really nice but expensive as are most restaurants in CP. Was seated and our order taken in good time but was waiting over half an hour for or cocktails, our food came out before and the water as we was finishing our meal. We was not able to get our waitresses attention to get the bill and it seemed to much trouble for another. We a had a voucher to use but this was not scanned properly and the full amount was charged. It was not worth the hassle and I would not return.

Visited NYE whilst on holiday. The service from start to finish was excellent, I believe our server was called Jayden. They were so friendly and attentive! Unfortunately the food itself was the let down. We had the sharing nachos to start, which arrived so quickly our drinks hadn't arrived yet. The nachos were great, however thats a pretty difficult dish to mess up. The mains came out after we'd finished our stater, and the drinks had arrived, but our poor server was rushed off their feet and didn't have time to clear our plates. The mains were disappointing - the burrito was grey and looked obviously heated up not freshly made. The loaded chicken tasted like something I'd pay £5 for at Weatherspoons, not £17. Overall, the meal with a tip cost over £60. I know in resturants outside of CP you can use discounts to bring the price down, however I think this visit has put me off Las Iguanas for a while. Microwaved food at a high end price point!

100% recommend. Went with wife and son, very filling meals, great cocktails. I would just say that I wish there was a bigger menu and choice on desserts, other than that everything was perfect , thank you.

Samantha and her team were great. We spent the long weekend at Centre Parcs Longleat, ate in Hucks, Pancake House, Cafe Rouge and Las Iguanas. Last Iguanas as the best food. Despite being a chain, it was really good and the staff made it feel less chainy if thats a word. Its hard to get a table so book in advance. And its the only place I managed to find any semblance of a barista coffee, the barman had some skills. Great work will be back next year. Thanks

I love the location and the waitress who shall not be named, really tried her best here. Told us from the get go of the items or products they did not have at the time. Took 18 minutes from ordering drinks to receiving the drinks ordered. The food did come reasonably quickly and was really good. However just the drinks where really slow, having to wait for a waitress hoping she pops up when you need her too is not enjoyable.

Good food and excellent service, we had the tapas for lunch and everything they brought out was delicious, there are plenty of options for those that don't enjoy spice but they don't skimp on the chilies in the dishes that are meant to be spicy. Though I didn't have any myself my family reported that the cocktails were similarly excellent. As with all restaurants and shops within the park the price can be a little dear and service can slow in the evening when it gets busy but this is an excellent spot to go.

Visited Las Iguanas during our stay at Longleat Centre Parcs. Credit where credit is due, our waitress Lily was amazing. Nothing was too much effort, and she was so lovely. Made our dinner experience here more enjoyable.

A distinctly average meal for ridiculous prices. 3 adults, 2 drinks each , no sides , tiny starter and main meal for £150 Service - polite waitress but felt watched (stood behind us) and starters and main arrived far too quickly, no time to chat in between - we’re in an out within the hour! Another waiter was slagging off customers that had just left as they hadn’t finished their drinks or tipped the waiters and heard his life story in 5 minutes. Wouldn’t return to a las iguanas after this - food is basic at best!
