23 fun-filled photos from Teddy Bears’ Picnics in Carrick 2007-10

A Teddy Bears’ Picnic in Legg Park was the traditional curtain down on the summer season for many children in Carrickfergus for a number of years.

They brought along their favourite cuddly toys and got to meet some life-sized teddy bears too at the annual event organised by the legacy Carrickfergus Borough Council.

Fun and games were enjoyed – occasionally in the rain – on the August bank holiday Monday.

Here are 23 photos from between 2007 and 2010 to spark memories of the days the teddy bears had their picnics!
