Corbridge Bear Hunt 2026: A Festive Adventure for All the Family!

The Bears Are Back! Following the huge success of last year’s very first Corbridge Bear Hunt, My Oh My Toy Shop is delighted to bring the Bear Hunt back to Corbridge for a second year!

From 4 December to 20 December 2026, children, families and teddy bear lovers of all ages are invited to explore the festive streets of Corbridge, visit local independent businesses and discover our mischievous My Oh My Teddy Bears hiding throughout the village.

Our first Bear Hunt in 2025 was an incredible success, with hundreds of people taking part and families enjoying a wonderful festive adventure around Corbridge. We were absolutely delighted by the response, and this year we’re hoping to see even more little bear hunters joining the fun!

Each My Oh My Bear has its own name, and your challenge is to find them all and match each bear’s name to the correct participating business.

Complete your Bear Hunt leaflet, return it to My Oh My Toy Shop and you’ll be entered into our festive prize draw!

 A Christmas Adventure for the Whole Family

The Corbridge Bear Hunt is a wonderful way to enjoy everything that makes Corbridge so special at Christmas. As you wander through the village, you’ll discover beautifully decorated independent shops, festive displays and, of course, our very special bears hiding along the way. It’s not just about finding the bears. It’s about spending time together, exploring Corbridge, supporting independent businesses and making magical Christmas memories. Whether you’re a little bear hunter on your first adventure, a returning family from last year, or simply someone who loves teddy bears, everyone is welcome to join in.

And the best part? It’s completely FREE!
