We're going on a bear hunt in Salisbury this summer...

100 furry friends have been dotted around city centre shop windows once again, for families to find during the school holidays.

The annual hunt is arranged by the local branch of Save the Children, as a fun activity that also raises money for the charity.

This year, all the bears have been named by Year 2 and reception children at Harnham Infants School.

Imogen and Alfie from Harnham Infants named this bear Fluffy!

Entry forms can be picked up from the Salisbury Information Centre at the back of the Guildhall, the Rocketship Bookshop on Bridge Street, and the Library.

We're then tasked with going around the city and finding the bears, noting down their names.

It's free to take part, thanks to support from Salisbury BID, with completed forms being put into the Bear postbox to go into a prize draw.

The bears will be in place until September 2nd.

The money raised through this year's Bear Hunt will go towards Save the Children's Emergency Fund, which at the moment Is supporting young people in Africa struggling to find food, and towards refugee camps around the world.
