What is monkey forest?
Trentham Monkey Forest is a 60 acre woodland of which 140 free-roaming Barbary macaques call home. The sanctuary focuses on the conservation of this endangered primate.
Visitors can walk the 3/4 mile path and be amazed as the primates live freely within the forest.
Hosting the monkeys in this environment preserves their incredible natural behaviours!
This means our visitors can have a wonderfully unique experience in the heart of Staffordshire, as they walk amongst semi-wild primates.
VIP EXPERIENCES
WINTER WALKS &
BREAKFAST WITH MONKEYS
Our Winter Walks and Breakfast with Monkeys experiences are the ULTIMATE primate encounters in the UK.
Our Breakfast with Monkeys allows you to enter the Forest BEFORE opening time and you get to help our knowledgeable guides feed the monkey’s breakfast!
Our Winter Walks run whilst we are closed to the public during the winter. It is the ultimate walking tour as you ramble through our 60 acre woodland with an expert guide. Limited spaces available and slots fill up quick!
CONSERVATION PLEDGE
Around 80% of what is known about Barbary macaque behaviour derives from scientific study conducted within our parks.
We support the Primate Society of Great Britain as well as Barbary macaque Awareness & Conservation and Chances For Nature to protect primates in the wild.
