Trentham Monkey Forest

What do we do?

At Monkey Forest the Barbary macaques roam freely in a 60 acre forest. As you enter the park you can observe the monkeys living in their fascinating society as they would in the Atlas mountains of Algeria and Morocco.
The two groups come from our existing parks in France and Germany and the monkeys have lived all their lives in a similar setting. Our non-invasive policy, where we intervene as little as possible, allows you to see the monkey's natural behaviour just as you would in the wild.

When do we do it?

Opening Times:

We are open every day from the 27th March 2010.

Open from 10am to 5pm last entrance at 4pm from the 27th March 2010
