Alverstoke Spring Fair: Watch how a teddy bear zip wire stole the show at Gosport festival

The teddy bear zip wire delighted the young crowd.

A zip wire for teddy bears proved to be the star attraction at a spring fair this weekend.

The Alverstoke Spring Fair at St Mary’s Church in Green Road drew in crowds of hundreds of people, with a tombola, bric-a-brac, toys, books and more.

But by far the main event was the teddy bear zip wire, which saw teddies brought along by families, hooked up to a wire and pulleyed up to the top of the church spire - before hurtling back down towards the ground.

The video above shows what the view was like for these brave teddies, and we’ve got some great pictures from the event as well.
