Statues of everyone’s favourite bear will be taking a seat in locations across the UK and Ireland next month to celebrate the release of upcoming new movie Paddington in Peru.

From Liverpool to Land’s End, to Newbury to Newtownards, and of course, London Paddington, bear-y special statues are coming to cities, towns, and beauty spots in early October. Each meticulously crafted and painted statue will sport the wise bear’s signature red hat, blue duffle coat, and, naturally, a marmalade sandwich in paw.

Fans, friends, and family can step into Mr. Gruber’s shoes, sit with Paddington for a spot of tea, a sandwich or two, or even write a postcard to Aunt Lucy!

Paddington Visits launches ahead of the bear’s latest cinematic outing, Paddington in Peru, in cinemas on 8th November 2024.
