WELCOME TO THE BRITISH BEAR COLLECTION

The British Bear Collection is a unique collection of British Teddy bears and other friends which together map the British teddy bear industry over the past 100 years. The collection includes examples from all of the major manufacturers of that period, as well as an impressive collection of gollies and other friends.

The collection is not currently open to the public, but we are still available for private talks, displays and general enquiries about bears etc.

The collection continues to grow and flourish and still has its home at Banwell Castle in Somerset. We always have bears for sale and by clicking on the link on the contact page it will take you to our partner site specialising in old/vintage bears.
