Dobbies is inviting families to roll out the picnic blanket and gather around this summer as it unveils a new event at its Hyde Road store - the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.
Children will get to make their very own teddy bear keepsake to take home.
This interactive 90-minute session, taking place during the summer holidays, is designed for families with children aged 3-10 years and is taking place in the afternoons of Saturday 27 July, Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 August at the Swindon store.
Families with younger children can also get involved and enjoy the picnic experience.
Dobbies’ Teddy Bears’ Picnic allows children to have a go at building their very own teddy bear to take home. They will get the opportunity to stuff, fluff and name a teddy bear of their choice, with a teddy birth certificate to mark the occasion.
Dobbies’ team members at the Swindon store will uncover tales of bear adventures at the storytelling corner, gathering everyone around for a group reading, and host a variety of games and activities inspired by teddy.
Children will also get to tuck into their own picnic box that comes with the choice of a cheese, ham or tuna sandwich, a drink and selection of snacks. Adults can enjoy cake and a hot drink as part of the experience.
Sarah Murray at Dobbies developed the event and is looking forward to welcoming children of all ages along to the Teddy Bears’ Picnic at the Swindon store.
She said: “This brand-new event is a great opportunity for kids to come together and experience the wonderful joy that comes with making their very own teddy bear to take home.
"Children will also enjoy a picnic experience, filled with food, fun and storytelling.
“We’re encouraging families cosy up and get comfy by bringing their own picnic blankets, beach towel or cushions.”
Tickets are priced at £15.99 for over 3s and £7.99 for under 3s, while adult tickets are priced at £7.40. The activity is only suitable for children over three years old, and younger ones are encouraged to bring their own favourite teddy.
