Teddy bears plan take over in rothamsted Park

Harpenden’s children and their bears are cordially invited to join Harpenden Town Council at the Teddy Bears’ Picnic in Rothamsted Park on Wednesday 5th August, 11am – 2pm. This event is an exciting highlight of the year and we are delighted to announce a fantastic line up once again!

The Teddy Bears Picnic is a celebration for pre-schoolers, and their families and carers. Rothamsted Park is a wonderful setting for the Picnic, helping to make this a magical experience for children. A wide variety of activities and entertainment are planned, and attendees are encouraged to bring along a picnic blanket, refreshments, bags of energy and of course their favourite bear!

This year, the event includes the much-loved Teddy Bears’ Hospital, Monkey Music will perform three shows throughout the day, also attending are Fizzy Facepaints, Sandy Art, and Harpenden Library will host Storytime. Little Gym will also be there running activities and a show, plus ABC bouncy castles and soft play are coming along to provide even more fun. Stalls will include Tappy Toes, local theatre Eric Morcambe Centre and local charity Herts Young Homeless.

We again have two exceptional local organisations as our Gold Sponsors; we are very grateful to Nursery on the Green and The Children’s Clinic for their support which enables the Town Council to organise such a wonderful day.
