The trail will be a headline moment in the council’s Year of Reading, bringing stories out of books and into streets, parks and cultural spaces – encouraging families to explore, play and read together.
Behind the scenes, libraries, museums, sports teams, schools and community groups are gearing up to weave We’re Going On A Bear Hunt magic through events, walks, workshops and story sessions across the holidays.
Eight local schools and organisations have also been given the exciting opportunity to design and decorate their very own bear cub.
The bear cubs designed by St Hugh’s School, Chatterbooks , Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire, the Armed Forces Hub, the Blue Door, Crosby Primary School, Lincoln Gardens Primary School and North Lincolnshire Council’s Fostering Team will each tell a unique story and stay in the area for families to enjoy after the trail has finished.
