Teddy Bear Fun Day To Support Cornish Children's Charity

It's time to dust off your Teddy Bear for a day out at a popular Cornish attraction. 

Lappa Valley, near St Newlyn East, will host a Teddy Bear Fun Day on Sunday 22nd September to raise funds for Penhaligon’s Friends. The attraction is supporting the bereavement service as their chosen charity this year. 

The event will feature traditional village fete-style games and activities for all ages, with special events for teddy bears. Families are encouraged to bring their furry friends along for a day of fun.

Penhaligon’s Friends, a charity based in Cornwall, provides vital support to bereaved children, young people, and their families. A portion of the day’s admission fees will be donated directly to  Penhaligon’s Friends, aiding them in their essential work. Additionally, there will be collection points on-site for those who wish to make further contributions.

Julie Parker, CEO of the charity said: “The team at Penhaligon’s Friends are really looking forward to Lappa Valley’s Teddy Bear Fun Day, we have lots of fun activities to bring on the day including our teddy tombola – and look out for Fudge, our mascot bear too!

“We are so grateful for the support, and any funds raised on the day will help us to buy more story books and resources that we send out to families. These resources really help to open conversations with children about their loss and begin to start the process of grieving."

Ben Harding, Operations Director at Lappa Valley said: “We’ve very proud to support Penhaligon’s Friends as our charity of the year, and looking forward to hosting the special day and helping to support the important work they do.”
