Children aged 3 and under do not need to be added to the booking, they can enter the site for free and do not count towards the total number of guests.

Support a charity and Gift Aid your entry at no extra cost to you! 

Gift Aid allows charities like us to reclaim tax (25p for every £1) from the government on your donations. If you are a UK taxpayer, by making a donations equivalent to or greater than our admission cost and opting to Gift Aid, you enable us to treat your payment as a donation, so each £1 you spend can do £1.25 of good. So, if you are paying an amount of income and or capital gains tax in the current tax year at least equal to the tax that we will reclaim on your donation (25p for every £1 given), all you need to do is select the Gift Aid declaration when booking your tickets.

You must be a UK taxpayer to participate in the Gift Aid scheme. You need to pay enough Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in each tax year to cover the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations to charity otherwise you are responsible to pay any difference.

Please note: The welfare of the monkeys in our care is paramount and is as always our main priority. Although Covid-19 restrictions have ended, the wearing of face coverings is advised and preferable when around the monkey enclosures and in any indoor spaces. The monkeys remain vulnerable to Covid-19 and do not have the protection of vaccines. Therefore, we continue to do all that we can to limit their risk to the virus as well as to our team. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Accessibility

Due to the natural setting of the site and the listed status of the main Sanctuary house, we are unable to provide full access to all areas of the site to wheelchair users and visitors with limited mobility. In certain areas, our paths are steep, sloping, and can be narrow, making some paths unsuitable for all types of wheelchairs. Please call us 01503 262532 if you would like more details about accessibility before booking your visit. Entry is half price for disabled visitors and free for their carer.

Dogs and assistance dogs 

Unfortunately, we cannot allow dogs (including assistance dogs) into the main Monkey Sanctuary site. Please contact us in advance of your visit to make alternative arrangements in regards to assistance dogs, on 01503 262 532.

Thank you for visiting the Sanctuary – your support is so important as the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and the continuing cost of living crisis have pushed our charity into huge financial difficulties resulting in our appeal to Save our Sanctuary
Your visit will be vital to us being able to continue rescuing and caring for monkeys in need.
