Bella Bear was so happy to meet Minnie, Luna and all their friends and supporters at The Lighthouse Fish & Chip shop in Parklands this morning. The cake sale and fun day for Minnie’s Broken Heart was in full swing, looking set to raise lots of money to help beautiful Minnie get to the USA for the treatment she so desperately needs. Lots of motorbikes arriving to join in the fun soon too! Follow Minnie’s page for details of how you can help.

Our bears are VERY excited about this competition!

This year, our annual writing competition has been inspired by the wonders of the world and our new LEGO® brick exhibition 'Brick Wonders', opening on 4 December.

We are asking children aged 7-11 years old to submit a piece of writing about their favourite wonder, be it ancient, modern, natural or completely new!

There are some fantastic prizes up for grabs, including:

First Prize - Invitation to an exclusive preview of our Brick Wonders exhibition for the winner and their class (up to 30 pupils) on Friday 3 December. The preview will feature some wonderful fun and games with the stars of Bognor's Alexandra Theatre 2021 pantomime 'Jack and the Beanstalk' PLUS the winning story will win 4 VIP tickets for Jack and the Beanstalk!

Runner Up (x 3) - Tickets to our Brick Wonders exhibition for a family (up to 5), including a Make and Take session for up to 4 children. Choose from a Rocket, Parrot Fish or Unicorn to make and take home!

Eddie Teddy has been booked to deliver a surprise present to a VERY lucky birthday girl. His lips are sealed, but suffice to say that the secret is making him smile from ear to ear! 🤫
