We have a new trail this summer in Birmingham and it looks 'bear-illiant'. Anyone who loves the children's classic 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' will love the new sculptures to discover across the city centre . Ten beautifully painted bears have been installed in key locations and each one is inspired by the award-winning animation of the children's book by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury.
You can download or pick up a map to find them all and tick them off as you go. What's more, it's on throughout the whole of the summer holidays . Look out for bears in Piccadilly Arcade, Mailbox, Great Western Arcade , Corporation Street, Bullring , Mailbox and more city centre spots.
Families can take photos around the trail, which is free. Donations are encouraged in support of Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity.
