We're Going on a Bear Hunt

Scunthorpe
11 July 26  – 1 September 26
North Lincolnshire Council

Step into a children's classic story...

In summer 2026, families across North Lincolnshire were invited to sharpen their senses and get ready for an adventure like no other.

North Lincolnshire Council is brought the We’re Going on a Bear Hunt sculpture trail to the heart of Scunthorpe during the summer holidays.

That’s right…no grass too wavy, no mud too squelchy.

The nine-week trail ran from 11 July to 1 September and featured ten large-scale bear sculptures located across the town centre. They were joined by eight bear cubs, designed and decorated by local schools.

A familiar face! The large sculptures have appeared on previous Wild in Art trails. If you’re a regular trail visitor, you might recognise a few old friends along the way.
