Easter Half Term: Monkey Forest
24th Mar 2026
Make the most of the Easter holidays with a memorable family day out at Trentham Monkey Forest.
Open daily from 10am until November, the Forest offers a unique opportunity to walk among 140 free-roaming Barbary macaques in a beautiful 60-acre woodland.
Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning for a seasonal day out, spring is one of the most exciting times to explore the Forest!
Flowers start to bloom, and the woodland begins to absolutely thrive.
Here, there are no cages or barriers - just a unique woodland path where you can see Barbary macaques living remarkably similar to how they would in the wild.
What sets us apart? Our knowledgeable guides are on hand throughout the day, ready to engage in conversation to help you learn more about this endangered species and our conservation work. Have an expert around every corner, ready to explain fascinating behaviours!
PLUS, on top of all of this, we'll have a brand-new Easter Quiz for your little ones to get stuck into! Simply download our app and visit during w/c 30th March.
AND... just maybe... an Easter treat will await them if they do really well with the questions!
