A MUSEUM in Dorset dedicated to teddy bears has a special challenge for its visitors this Christmas.

Some of Santa’s reindeer are missing at the Teddy Bear Museum in Dorchester.

And the teddy bears need your help to find them.

The human size bears that live at the museum have organised a reindeer hunt.

They hope that lots of boys and girls and also grown up ones, will come to the museum and help in the Great Reindeer Hunt that is taking place from now until December 20 and then from December 27 to January 4.

The museum is Britain’s only museum devoted entirely to teddy bears and has been decorated for a vintage Christmas celebration, complete with a special Christmas story to guide visitors around the house.
