Teddy Bears Picnic moves to Frogs Hollow
The much-loved Teddy Bears Picnic will be held on Friday 1 November from 10am to 1pm, with a new venue at Frogs Hollow.
With redevelopment works underway at Lions Park, the popular annual event has been relocated to Frogs Hollow in 2025.
Forbes Shire Council Mayor Phyllis Miller OAM said the event continues to be an important day on the community calendar.
“The Teddy Bears Picnic is a special tradition in Forbes, giving families the chance to come together and enjoy a day of joy, play and imagination with their children,” the Mayor said.
“While Lions Park is currently out of action, Frogs Hollow is a wonderful setting to host the event and we look forward to seeing plenty of teddies out and about.”
The picnic will feature children’s entertainment, activities and story time, with families encouraged to bring their favourite teddy bear, picnic rug and snacks. Food and refreshments will also be available
for purchase.
The Teddy Bears Picnic is proudly hosted by Forbes Shire Council, Forbes Youth Action team and Forbes North SaCC (a Schools as Community Centres).
