Sheffield Christmas Trail 2026
A brand new Brearley Bear adventure
28 November - 24 December 2026
Brearley Bear and his friends are on their way to the North Pole to help Father Christmas prepare for Christmas.
But disaster has struck! A blustery winter wind whisked their airline tickets out of Brearley's paws and scattered them across Sheffield city centre.
Can you help track down the missing tickets before their flight departs?
