Kingston First, the town’s business improvement district is thrilled to announce a new Bear Hunt Trail for 2024, a free public trail that promises an enchanting journey through art, adventure, and community engagement. In collaboration with Wild in Art and Walker Books, the trail will feature ten beautifully sculptured bears inspired by the award-winning animation, based on the much-loved picture book We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. 

From 29 March to 7 June 2024, the Kingston Bear Hunt Trail will be open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, inviting residents, workers and visitors to explore Kingston's streets, and landmarks in search of these captivating bear sculptures. Each bear, uniquely designed by ten different artists will showcase never-before-seen artwork from 5 of the sculptures. The bears capture light-hearted and thought-provoking themes, including diversity, sustainability, climate change, biodiversity, and more.
