The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Family Activities: Bears!

Free, donations welcome

© Andy Brown

Inspired by the Bears of Sheffield, head to Sheffield Museums and design a bear that could live in the museum or gallery you are visiting.

Will it be camouflaged against modern art, eat girders, live in the river, or time-travel to 100 years ago?!

All materials will be provided.

This event will be taking place following government guidance on Covid-19 measures.

Times and locations:

26th July, 12pm–3pm – Weston Park Museum

28th July, 12pm–3pm – Kelham Island Museum
