settle your teddy for the night.Collect your teddy from the library next

admire the best of Barton’s home-grown fruit, flowers and veg – and see
what the young gardeners have created with their miniature gardens and
veggy creatures. Better still, bring along the best from your garden on
the day – anyone can enter and it’s free!

Bring your teddy to enjoy some seaside fun with a teddy sandpit, bouncy
castle and teddy tombola at the club on Dunstall Road. Life’s a teddy
beach between 12 noon and 4.00 pm. There will also be a barbecue,
outside bar and hot drinks to keep you refreshed! On Sunday there’s a
Crown Green bowling competition too.
Proceeds from the teddy tombola will be donated to the Festival’s charities.
Sunday 3rd September at 10.30am
Teddy Bear Service in St James’ Church
Rev Andy
Simpson is looking forward to welcoming teddies of all shapes and sizes
at the service which will be a chance to bless and thank all the
teddies for their kindness and the comfort they bring. Last year 84
teddies attended the service – and there’s room for more! Don’t worry if
you haven’t got a teddy bear – foster teds will be available for you to
cuddle.
