Come & Meet Our Bear!
Fri 16 Sep – Sat 22 Oct 2022
An exciting opportunity to meet a larger than life bear sculpture at the Leeds Hospitals Charity shop in the Merrion Centre!
Come and snap a photo with the bear and make sure to tag @leedsbearhunt on Twitter and Instagram and use the hahstag #LeedsBearHunt – they’d love to share all of your photos!
What is Leeds Bear Hunt?
From 1st July 2023, more than 50 giant Bear sculptures will hide in plain sight for ten weeks on the streets and within the parks of Leeds, highlighting iconic spots and hidden gems, whilst engaging with our local communities. Together, the Bears will form a family-friendly trail of discovery for local people and visitors to enjoy and explore, bringing Michael Rosen’s iconic We’re Going on a Bear Hunt story to life.
The free outdoor trail is open to everyone and we hope that as many people as possible will explore all or parts of the fully accessible trail.
The trail will raise funds for Leeds Hospitals Charity to help make hospital a little brighter for young patients at Leeds Children’s Hospital.
How can you get involved?
There’s lots of ways you can get involved in Leeds Bear Hunt, with opportunities for artists to submit their creative designs, pupils to join in our schools programme and have their very own bear cub and local businesses to help sponsor the trail!
