Children who bring their teddy bears to Cogges Farm in Witney tomorrow will be allowed in free as part of the museum's Traditional Toy Weekend.
In addition to a teddy bears' picnic there will be opportunities to make peg dolls, corn dollies and Sally sock puppets, a traditional toy farm display and outdoor games, as well as stalls from Oxfam and Usborne Books.
As part of a weekend of activities there is the Kids Out programme on Friday, with family craft sessions, and on Sunday Peter Rabbit will be telling tales made famous by Beatrix Potter.

Um, no thanks . . . ”
