Fancy Dress at the Monkey Forest
A fun filled Halloween Fancy Dress competition is open to visitors at one of Stoke-on-Trent’s leading attractions.
Visitors are invited to take part in a Fancy Dress Competition at Trentham Monkey Forest – which runs until 1 November.
After what has been a spooky and strange year all round, the attraction, home to 140 free-roaming Barbary macaques, want to make sure children don’t miss out on the fun of dressing up this Halloween.
The forest wants to see your best fancy-dress outfits for your chance to win a family membership. The competition will run across half term from the 26th of October to the 1st November.
To enter, simply dress up, visit the monkeys, and take your picture at the forest’s dedicated competition zone. Upload your entry to Monkey Forest’s social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter) to be in with a chance of winning. Full terms and conditions can be found on the website.
The prize consists of 4 annual memberships. Members can visit as many times as they wish during Monkey Forest’s season (February- November 2021). They are also the first to know any monkey news – including baby announcements.
Park Director Matt Lovatt commented: “The competition is open to all our visitors over half term and we just thought it’s a bit of light-hearted fun to end what has been Monkey Forest’s strangest season yet. Despite the lockdown and restrictions, we’re pleased visitors have continued to visit us and get their monkey fix. We worked hard to ensure Monkey Forest was a safe place to visit during these unprecedented times and visitor feedback has been extremely positive. We close for the year in November so it’s your last chance to get outdoors and enjoy a walk around the Monkey Forest – and also spot this year’s little babies. We hope our Halloween Fancy Dress Competition will finish our season on a high.”
As well as the competition the forest also has an easy to follow Halloween Quiz that children can do as they walk the forest. Changes have been made to ensure everything is safe and a little spooky too. The free quiz can be collected up from the kiosk on arrival.
The forest’s short ‘Hidden Trail’ walk is also a must this half term, with a few Halloween surprises along the way.
Tickets must be pre-booked online.
