Hugglets Teddies 2012 in Kensington Town Hall

Hugglets Teddies 2012 is an annual summer event featuring around 170 stands and over 10,000 teddy bears for sale, with prices ranging from a few pounds to over £1,000. Both antique and modern bears will be there plus clothes and accessories as well as bear–making supplies.

Companies attending the event will be from as far afield as the USA, Canada, Japan and Europe along with many leading UK bear artists. A teddy bear hospital will be on hand, offering treatment to well-loved and injured bears.

The first British Teddy Bear Festival took place in 1989.
