Looking for something to do with the kids? Something outdoorsy with a bit of adventure? Something that’s not going to break the bank? Look no further than Trentham Monkey Forest.

In Staffordshire, there are 140 free-roaming monkeys that live in total freedom, and you can walk amongst them starting from as little as £8.00 per person…

The woodland is the monkey’s tranquil home in Trentham and the conservation site is dedicated to the protection of Barbary macaque monkeys. Your little ones will learn all about the protection of an endangered species all whilst having a fun time.

The primates can go wherever they like as they aren’t restricted by any bars or cages, allowing visitors to observe the species in a way that can’t be done anywhere else in the UK.

The fascinating natural behaviours of the primate can be seen right before your very eyes, making it one of the most unique but affordable days out in the UK, especially during the school holidays. Plus, this year, the park has had 9 baby monkeys arrive! Making that visit this Summer even more special.

The forest is based in Stoke-On-Trent and also has lots of play equipment outside of the Monkey Forest, as well as a brand-new monkey-shaped Willow Maze, encouraging visitors to spend their whole day at the attraction.

The monkeys that live in Trentham are Barbary macaques, unfortunately, these monkeys are highly endangered. The population has decreased by more than 50% in the last 30 years and there are now fewer than 8,000 wild Barbary macaques left.
