Holiday activities for Children and Families

There are lots of Spring activities happening this half-term.

We're Going on a Bear Hunt: 29 March - 7 June

Are you ready for a bear hunt?

Follow the trail and join us on an exciting Bear Hunt through Kingston! Explore the charm of our town and discover 10 giant bear sculptures, each hand-painted by a different artist with five never-before-seen designs, inspired by Michael Rosen’s popular ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ picture book.

You can grab a trail guide leaflet at Waterstones, Fusebox, and The Rose Theatre. Here you’ll find a map of the trail, where you can tick off all 10 bears as you make your way around Kingston! You can find out more and download a PDF map at https://kingstonuponthames.info/beartrail.
