The Eagle And the Bears

If you go down to the woods today, you’re sure to find some empty honey jars and…well, that’s about it. The bears have come to London and they ain’t leaving! Dom Top spoke to big bear boss, Kurt Hoffman about what’s in store for the big boys this Christmas and beyond!

 


Kurt, there are tons of activities coming up for furry friends and fanciers at Eagle London. First up is the Bears Christmas Party on December 13th. What will Santa be bringing the bears? 

We have our big ‘Bear’ raffle raising funds for the Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation, top London DJ’s Severino from Horse Meat Disco and David Oh from Songs Of Praise, performances from global burlesque star Dave the Bear, and also The Transfats, the newly formed ex-DreamBears duo. Father ‘Bear’ Christmas is flying in with a huge sack of presents and our event partners Edgerton Pink Gin has given Santa 100 bottles of their premium Gin to give to all Bears who have been good!

We’re big fans of the beautiful Ben Cohen here at QX, as well as his fantastic StandUp Foundation, which combats bullying. A little bird tells us we’ve got a chance to get into his pants, so to speak?

Ben has kindly agreed to sign a pair of his Bluebuck new collection underwear and his official 2015 calendar to raffle and raise funds for The Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation. It really will make a difference, so please come along to help us raise as much as possible for this great charity and help their cause.

“What makes the ultimate ursine fella?
A big friendly smile, hairy belly, chunky fingers, meaty legs and good beard!”

This summer’s London Bearfest was a huge success. Can we expect bigger, better and, dare we say it, ‘bearier’ for 2015?

Even more Bear fun will be packed into London Bearfest 2015, which starts on the 17th and goes until the 25th May. You can look forward to amazing new events including ‘Bear Boat Trip’, with lots of furry fun on the river Thames. ‘The Big One’ a massive Bear extravaganza with top UK Bear DJs, clubs, entertainers, visuals, cinema, food and much more in one of London’s most iconic venues, with Bear World Presents. There will be an exclusive major bear star coming all the way over from the USA, too! We will bring back all of last year’s favourites; Horse Meat Disco, Eagle Bears, Hot Fuzz, Meat and many more. Bearfest Bowling and also much bigger ‘Big Bear Bar Crawl’ and the critically acclaimed Bear Cabaret show ‘Beartacular’ all raising funds and awareness for the Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation.

Eagle has a brand new night simply called BEAR starting on the 2nd Saturday of every month. What can we expect from that?

It’s going to be an all-bear party with global bear clubs coming to Eagle London, as well as events within the UK coming together and supporting the bear community and having a beartastic party as well.

And we hear there’s a big bad Bearracuda headed for the Eagle on May 9th. Should we be scared?

We’re very excited to be bringing the international super-bear club Bearracuda to the UK, they’re coming over on a world tour, stopping in Cologne and London. We can’t wait!

Finally, personal preference: what kind of bear do you like best? A teddy bear or big grizzly?

Well, to be really honest I like a bit of both, I’m versatile!
