Monkey’ing Around at
Calling all monkey lovers! Recently, the team at Voice Magazine was invited to visit Trentham Monkey Forest, and let us tell you, it was an experience like no other.
The Monkey Forest is home to over 140 Barbary macaques who roam free in a 60-acre woodland. As we entered the forest, we were immediately greeted by the playful monkeys, swinging from tree to tree and enjoying their natural habitat. It was like stepping into a scene from a movie, where monkeys were the stars.

The staff at the Monkey Forest were just as impressive as the monkeys themselves. They were knowledgeable and passionate about the conservation of the Barbary macaques and their environment. We were constantly in awe of their dedication to preserving the natural habitat of these intelligent and fascinating creatures.
As we walked through the forest, the staff were always on hand with interesting facts and information about each monkey, knowing them all by name. It was evident that they had a deep understanding and respect for these animals, which made the experience all the more enriching.
One thing that stood out to us was the Monkey Forest’s commitment to replicating the monkeys’ natural environment as much as possible. They had created a beautiful and expansive forest space, complete with streams and rocks, giving the macaques plenty of space to roam and play.
Overall, our visit to Trentham Monkey Forest was an unforgettable experience. We left with a newfound appreciation for the beauty and intelligence of Barbary macaques and a deep respect for the staff who work tirelessly to protect them.
Trentham Monkey Forest offers ample free parking, a Jungle gift shop, a café, two adventure playgrounds, a Willow Maze, information rooms, picnic areas, and VIP Experiences. Explore hidden trails, enjoy a meadow walk, and get up close with monkeys. It’s a perfect family day out!
If you haven’t already visited, we highly recommend taking a trip to Trentham Monkey Forest. It’s a fun and educational day out for the whole family, and you’ll leave with memories that will last a lifetime.
