Golden Bears Trail 2026
Find the Bears, Make a Difference

DOWNLOAD YOUR TRAIL MAP

Every August and September, Stroud's shop windows fill with Golden Bears, and families across the town come together for a free trail with a big heart behind it.

From 22 August to 30 September, grab a free trail map, visit the participating shops, and scan the QR code at each bear for a free entry into our prize draw. There's no ticket to buy and nothing you have to spend, though if you'd like to make a donation along the way, every pound helps us support families facing childhood cancer.
