Southport town centre welcomes ten vibrant bear sculptures, inspired by the beloved children’s book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.
Each hand-painted bear showcases a unique design created by talented artists and illustrators, reflecting different themes.
The bear trail is a free event, and maps are available to download below for those eager to explore the town and discover the sculptures.
Visitors can enjoy the display from Saturday 1 February, to Sunday 27 April 2025, covering both the February half-term and Easter school holidays.
This exciting Wild in Art event is brought to life in partnership with Southport BID, Sefton Council, and Walker Books.
