Taking place across the capital between 18 – 26 May, it will bring together bears, cubs, otters & admirers from all over the world to enjoy a week of furry and chunky fun in this cosmopolitan city. Throughout the week we will be raising vital funds and awareness for our chosen charity The Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation.
