A little bit about our site in Manchester:
Our Zip World Manchester site is the ideal location for those wanting a break from the busy city environment. Currently we offer 3 treetop adventures, this includes 2 high ropes courses with plenty of zip lines and tricky obstacles under the canopy as well as a bouncy maze of nets suspended high in the trees.
What is Monkey Madness?
Monkey Madness is our Easter event, targeted towards a younger audience. The Treetop Nets activity will be 'taken over' by monkeys. There will be games the children can get involved in, like stealing bananas, along with the playful monkeys. The monkeys will be sliding, springing and sneaking around with the children, getting in pictures with customers and creating a fun, playful environment.

As a part of the actor team you will be kitted out in one of our professional monkey costumes, interacting, general monkeying around and encouraging game play with children on our Treetop Nets adventure
