Teddy Bear Results

Teddy Bear Results

As usual, the 2025 Teddy Bear Trail was a great event, with 32 Teddies in various “travelling” guises distributed over many Jesmond Streets. Full details of the locations of all the bears is now on display in Jesmond Library.
The two favourite entries were Hiking Hamish and Hilary, and Barnacle Bear.
We are indebted to Symonds Taylor for printing all the entry forms, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s for donating prizes, and Tesco for providing yummy Teddy treats for each child returning a form. And of course the organisers, the Friends of Jesmond Library.
