We’re so excited about this event, we can bear-ly contain ourselves! Grab your favourite teddy bear and join us for a lovely afternoon picnic in our gardens that includes music, story-time, scavenger hunt, games, crafts and more!

Have a favourite stuffed toy in need of medical attention? Volunteers doctors and nurses will be staffing a Teddy Bear Hospital offering minor repairs by donation.

Also, we’ll be offering prizes for Biggest stuffie, Oldest stuffie, Best-Dressed stuffie and Most Lookalike (with owner).

Children aged twelve and under who bring their own stuffies will get free admission for the day; all others are $15 (or $10 if prepaid through our website). We will also have picnic boxes available through our kitchen featuring sandwiches/wraps, sides, a drink and a baked goodie. Voucher can also be pre-purchased, offering a discount over the regular prices at the event.

Be sure to bring your own blanket or lawn chairs and everything else you need to have a lovely time in our gardens on this very special day!
