Devon Bear Festival.
Looking for a festival with a furry difference in Devon? Devon’s very own annual Bear Festival will be taking place again during April, just down the road in Newton Abbot.
The bears in question are of course the cuddly and stuffed ones, making this event an ideal day out for youngsters and grown-ups alike. Each year teddy bear designers, makers and fanatics congregate at the Newton Abbot Racecourse to show off their creations and collections. This year the event will be taking place on the 17th of April and will feature everything from antique teddy bears to crafting materials, so you even make your own.
