Sheffield Christmas Trail -

30th Nov - 24th Dec 2024

A brand new festive adventure

30th Nov - 24th Dec 2024
Brearley Bear is throwing a spectacular Christmas Disco for all his friends, and you're invited to join the fun!

But before you can boogie, Brearley and his friends need your help to get everything ready for the party.

Can you assist them in finding all the items on the party list?

Plus, there's a special free gift waiting for every child who completes the trail.

Where do I collect a trail guide from?

Trail guides are available from 30th Nov at Brearley Bear’s HQ (Unit 1, Surrey Street – next to The Winter Garden).

Participating venues will also stock a small supply of trail guides.

How does it work?

There are seven items to find at seven locations in Sheffield city centre.

Follow the clues on the trail guide, jot down the items as you find them, then return the completed trail guide to Brearley Bear’s HQ (Unit 1, Surrey Street – next to The Winter Garden) to claim your child’s free gift.

If you’re doing the trail on Christmas Eve, please head back to Brearley’s HQ in plenty of time (as we’ll be closing at 4pm prompt).

Is the trail free?

Yes, this is a completely free activity and there’s a special free gift waiting for every child who completes the trail.

How far apart are the clues?

You’ll find several clues on The Moor (The Light Cinema, Clarks, New Look), and also at Orchard Square (TK Maxx), Surrey Street (The Winter Garden), High Street (HMV) and Angel Street (Tenpin).
