Corbridge Runs Its First-Ever Festive Bear Hunt!

Bringing Families and Local Businesses Together

Corbridge is set to sparkle a little brighter this Christmas as My Oh My Toy Shop launches the village’s first-ever Corbridge Bear Hunt, a festive family treasure hunt designed to bring joy, community spirit and a sense of adventure to the heart of the village.

Running from 28 November to 12 December 2025, the event invites families to explore Corbridge’s charming streets and independent shops in search of specially hidden My Oh My teddy bears. Each bear has its own unique name, and participants must match the names to the correct shops using a Bear Hunt leaflet available from any of the participating shops.

With more than twenty independent businesses taking part, the Bear Hunt offers a fun and interactive way for visitors to engage with the local high street while enjoying quality time together.

“This event is all about celebrating community – bringing families into the village, helping local businesses connect with new customers and creating festive memories that last,” said the organiser, Olena Holdovych – the owner of My Oh My Toy Shop

The Bear Hunt is free to join, and families of all ages are welcome to take part. Once leaflets are completed and returned to My Oh My Toy Shop by 5 pm on 12 December, participants will be entered into a prize draw featuring exclusive My Oh My teddy bears and Christmas vouchers. The draw will take place on 16 December, with winners notified directly. However, the Bear Hunt may be extended until 20 December, with any changes announced on our social media channels.
