We\u2019re unsure when we will reopen but will do our very best to give our visitors as much notice as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The team want to reassure the public that the 140 Barbary macaques that live at Trentham will continue to go about their daily lives, just like they would if the forest was open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye on Monkey Forest\u2019s website and social media pages for updates on reopening, and of course lots of cute monkey images, and even some baby announcements as baby season approaches \u2013 sure to make you smile during this strange time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have already purchased tickets to visit the monkeys, don\u2019t panic! The forest has extended all online tickets already purchased for 2020 to be valid until the end of the 2021 season.
