While the interactive tea party event \u2013 which will see little ones role-play their way through selecting picnic \u2018food\u2019, sitting down with their teddies (and their grown-ups) for a make-believe tea party, enjoy a special story created by education manager Lauren Addison and tidy up when they\u2019ve finished \u2013 is included within PLAY@ ticket price during half term, donations to Birmingham Children\u2019s Hospital will be welcomed during story time.<\/p>\n
Farmer Richard Bower says: \u201cOur Teddy Bears\u2019 Picnic last year was a real hit in summer half term \u2013 and this year we are super-excited to be able to tie in the event with Birmingham Children\u2019s Hospital\u2019s Teddy Bears\u2019 Picnic campaign.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the years we\u2019ve raised over \u00a310,000 for the charity, which is close to our hearts, so this year we have woven Bertie Bear into our tea party story as the main character and we\u2019ll have a collection bucket in story corner throughout the week where people can donate their spare change, should they wish.\u201d<\/p>\n
