From Peru To Penrith – Paddington’s New Home!

Fans of all ages took a pew next to Paddington as STUDIOCANAL unveiled a statue of the marmalade loving bear in Penrith.

Launched as part of Paddington Visits, a trail of Paddington Bear statues across the UK and Ireland to celebrate the forthcoming release of PADDINGTON IN PERU, arriving in cinemas on November 8th, Paddington took a seat on a bench in the Town Centre and was immediately embraced by the local community.

He can also be found in our regions in: Chester - Foregate Street; Liverpool - Liverpool ONE; Manchester – Spinningfields, Hardman Square and York’s Dean’s Park.

But his arrival caused quite a stir in Cumbria!

Everyone in Penrith buzzed with excitement as they gathered to welcome the Town Centre’s newest neighbour: a meticulously crafted and painted statue sporting the wise bear’s signature red hat, blue duffle coat, and, naturally, a marmalade sandwich in paw.

Families and children can embark on an adventure to find their local Paddington, with locations ranging from John O’Groats to Land’s End, Westport Co. Mayo to London, and, of course, a very special stop in Newbury, the hometown of Paddington's creator, Michael Bond.

With Paddington coming to towns, cities and beauty spots, STUDIOCANAL has teamed up with Ordnance Survey to help intrepid explorers discover Paddington in various locations in the UK and Ireland, head on over to Ordnance Survey’s website to learn more: https://getoutside.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/Paddington-visits/
