The Monkey Sanctuary

Enlarged Property Image

The Monkey Sanctuary is home to the The Monkey Sanctuary Trust, a charity established to promote the welfare, conservation and survival of primates. The Sanctuary is home to rescued pet monkeys, and a large colony of Amazonian Woolly Monkeys. The Sanctuary was the first place in the world to successfully breed the Woolly Monkeys outside of their native habitat. Friendly staff are always willing to talk to visitors about about monkey behaviour and what we can all do to help preserve their natural environment. There are also regular workshops for all ages and abilities. After meeting the monkeys, why not have a bite to eat in the Tree Top Cafe or visit the fairtrade gift shop. The Sanctuary is open from 11am to 4.30pm, Sunday to Thursday, each week between the beginning of April and the end of September.
