We took the kids to Monkey Forest at Trentham Gardens near Stoke last Sunday.

A guest in the Barn had recommended it and as the kids were bored (as usual) we thought it might make for a nice afternoon jaunt.

What a treat it was!

The monkeys were fascinating, the staff were really great, it was easy to get to and because we went late in the day, it wasn’t busy either.

We’ll definitely be recommending Monkey Forest as a destination for future Barn guests, especially for those with children.
