We're Going on a Bear Hunt Scunthorpe

This summer, North Lincolnshire Council is bringing the major national We’re Going on a Bear Hunt sculpture trail to the heart of Scunthorpe during the 2026 summer holidays.
Officially licensed by Walker Books and delivered in partnership with internationally renowned producers Wild in Art, the nine-week trail will feature a series of large-scale bear sculptures located across the town centre throughout July and August.
In addition, eight local schools and organisations have also been given the exciting opportunity to design and decorate their very own bear cub.
The adventure officially begins on Saturday 11 July, as the trail launches alongside this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, themed Read to the Beat.
Families are invited to join the celebrations on 11 July from 10am to 2pm across 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, Church Square and Scunthorpe Central, with a lively programme of music, storytelling and creative activities to kick-start a summer full of discovery. The sculpture trail will be running around Scunthorpe for 9 weeks.
