The Halloween Pumpkin Trail Quiz will offer your cheeky monkeys the fun opportunity to win a cuddly treat – if they manage to avoid the little tricks along the way! Children will need to find every pumpkin by following the clues on the pumpkins and completing the 10 words on the quiz sheet before filling out the final special word…

To get involved, all you need to do is book a visit to Trentham Monkey Forest between the 3rd of October – the 30th of October and when you arrive, ask for the Halloween Pumpkin Trail Quiz Sheet from the Kiosk. The quiz is completely free to enter and is an additional offering for tickets purchased during the time that it is on!
