The Merrythought Teddy Bear Shop

About

This unique shop is home to a huge range of traditional and limited edition teddy bears. All of the current collections are in stock as well as several rare discontinued items and shop exclusives. Within the shop is a small museum with some of the earliest Merrythought and Farnell teddy bears (dating back as far as 1909) as well as many other characters created by Merrythought over the years. Of course, all of the bears have been handmade onsite in the Merrythought factory, the UK's oldest teddy bear manufacturer of it's kind. Open 7 days a week 10am - 5pm
