Have you found all the bears hidden around the town's parks?

Jacqui Ingham and her daughter have hidden 25 knitted bears in four locations across Welwyn Garden City.

The hope is that while there isn't much to do in lockdown, families can enjoy going on a bear hunt to find them all.

Jacqui decided to organise her own bear hunt after her sister Tina Thomas held one successfully where she lives in Scotland, and she thought that her grandchildren would love it.

She said: "We called it ‘Elsa and Jack's bear hunt’ after my two grandchildren. I knew it would help to encourage people to go out for a walk and give people something to do.

"At such a depressing time we wanted to lift everyone’s spirits and I think we certainly have!

"They are all easy for children to find, once you find one the others aren’t too far away.

"We are all blown away by the response. It’s amazing how some little knitted bears have brought so much joy to everyone."
