The Bear Garden

The Bear Garden Family run make your own bear business in Ipswich. Plush accessories, kits & parties. Maternity hear The Bear Garden, where imaginations grow. Extra fun!
(212)

A magical place where you can make your own soft toy either for yourself or as a special gift. We have wonderful stations around the shop where you can pick a bear or animal of your choice, add a wish heart and stuff your soft toy either by hand or with our teddy stuffing machine. We have a wide range of outfits and accessories so you can personalise your bear to make it the only one of its kind.

All of our outfits and accessories are compatible with Build-A-Bear and Bear Workshop bears so if you already have a favourite teddy, you are still welcome to come and play in our bear garden. Our bear boutique dressing rooms offer you the chance to brush and dress your bear so you can be sure you have chosen the perfect outfit. The final station you’ll visit before leaving the bear garden is where you can register the birth of your bear. Every bear receives their own birth certificate with your chosen name and the date you created your favourite new toy. It's as easy as ready, teddy, go! We also have a colouring corner, gift experience vouches and take home kits available. NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR PARTIES! (all staff hold a full CRB and are experienced in working with children).

I absolutely love receiving your photos. Look at this gorgeous smile! Elizabeth and her cheeky Elves Patch and Twinkle Toes (I think I've remembered the second one right).
Our Jingle has been lots of fun again this year.
Do you have any photos to share of your Bear Garden Christmas Plush?

This Christmas, like last we weren't able to run our incredibly popular Santa's Bear Workshops.
My Christmas wish for the Bear Garden is that we can get back to these next winter.

Best wishes and Merry Christmas to you all x

It's that time of the year. The time us elves start to get even busier. And our question to you as we consider and dream up our Bear Garden Christmas plans is... How are you feeling about attending Christmas events this year? Would you like a pop up shop instead (Christmas Market)? Are you hoping to host some private parties in your own home? Or maybe you are wishing for another Santa's Workshop?
Please share with us your thoughts. Kelly Christmas and Nicki Elf x🎄

Hello old friend, how are you doing?
It's been a funny time right? We've missed you 💕 Things have been quiet and hectic all at the same time here as I'm sure you can imagine. It's been so long since we've been able to hold public events and host parties. After the first lockdown and when it was safe to do so, we delivered some Party Kits for small groups of 6. Remember the rule of 6? But alas it then went quiet as we locked down once more.

I'm very pleased to say that I have started packing for a Birthday Party for Friday. Yippee 🎂🎉 The time has come to get back out on the road. If you have an event, birthday party or would like a group of friends and their little ones to get together and would like some bears, do get in touch.
LET'S GET BACK TO HAPPY 🐻
Hope you are safe and well.

Well bear making went down a snow storm with these two. They played with the stuffing for half hour before even beginning to stuff making it a one and a half hour activity 😂
Merry Christmas girls and thank you Amy for the photos ❤️🎄

Thank you to everyone who came to my Bear Garden Christmas Sale Saturday night. It seems you enjoyed it - I know I did!
Here's an update on your bears.
Sadly the following day I had a family emergency and one of my little girls was taken poorly to A&E. She's on the mend but it's taken a few days. Not only have I got behind with my admin but I've been notified that my page Facebook inbox isn't working! And no notifications if you've contacted me. Thanks to Nicki bear for letting me know.
Please comment below I've you've messaged and I will get back to you.
All bears will be packed and delivered as soon as possible. They will still be with you in time for Christmas and all going to plan, by the end of the weekend.
Thank you for your patience.
Bear hugs and Christmas wishes, Kelly Christmas 🎄🎅🐻 xx
