We’re incredibly grateful and proud of the fanta We’re incredibly grateful and proud of the fantastic support we received for this year’s bear hunt. From selling out of maps half way through (thank you for everyone’s patience whilst we printed more!) and selling out of ice cream (twice!!) to welcoming visitors from as far as Oxfordshire and hearing everyone’s lovely feedback, it was yet another wonderful afternoon full of creativity, adventure and fun. An enormous thank you to Moon, Tom and their family for hosting the BearBQ and keeping all of the hunters well fed. You all worked tirelessly serving delicious hot dogs, courtesy of Hobbs House Bakery and the Champion Sausage Company 🌭 @hobbshousebakerytetbury Thank you to Tim and Astrid for serving a mountain of ice creams in the playing field! 🍦 …and thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who served hot drinks and cakes, helped run the BBQ, sold maps, ran the craft stalls and hosted bears. We couldn’t do it without you! Another huge thank you to our amazing bear sponsors. The sponsorship from local businesses has been incredible once again, and we really appreciate your support for our school. Finally, thank you to everyone who joined us on the day and enjoyed the hunt. It was so lovely to see so many families having fun. We’re very pleased to report that this year’s bear hunt has raised a fantastic £1737, which is totally pawsome! 🐾 Everyone please give yourselves a giant bear-sized pat on the back!! 🐻👏🌟

Made in Stroud was started by Clare Honeyfield as Made in Stroud was started by Clare Honeyfield as a series of makers’ markets in town in 1991. In 1999 Clare founded Stroud Farmers’ Market , initially known as The Made in Stroud Farmers Market @made_in_stroud_shop Clare started The Made in Stroud Shop in 2000 as a result of the joint need for her own office and to provide a place for local makers to sell their wares. Originally a co-operative, the sole aim of the shop is to create community through beautiful hand made objects. They work with 190 makers and producers from the Five Valleys and further afield. Thank you so much to the lovely Clare for your generous hamper donation for our “Best Bear in Show” prize! What a lucky winner!!
