Hinckley BID will host BBC Radio Leicester and the much-loved Pudsey Bear for an exciting fundraising event set to take place across Hinckley town centre on Wednesday, 5th November 2025 from 12:00 pm to approximately 1:45 pm. Residents and local businesses are invited to join in the festivities as Pudsey Bear takes a walk through the town, spreading joy and raising funds for a great cause.
