Bears of Sheffield: #16 Peaky the Bear
#16 of 61 big bear sculptures, this one was decorated by Emma Barnsley and is located in the Peace Gardens.
Emma's Bear was inspired by the beautiful landscape of the Peak District, her love of wildlife and her young daughter. She created a dream-like illustration with whimsical animals, that flow around the sculpture, like a children's story book. This is how she imagines the landscape might look, at night, when all the animals come out to play.

Bears of Sheffield is a public arts exhibition celebrating Sheffield and its surrounding area. Coordinated by The Children's Hospital Charity, the trail brings together businesses, communities, artists and schools whilst supporting Sheffield Children’s Hospital. The Bears have been brought to life by artists of all ages, both professional and amateur, and they arrived in the city in July 2021.
The Bears of Sheffield showcases 60 large and 100 little bear sculptures in both indoor and outdoor locations.
The bears are raising funds through sponsorship and donations to help transform the Cancer and Leukaemia ward at Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
