THE PADDINGTON BEAR EXPERIENCE, an all new large-scale interactive experience inspired by everyone’s favourite bear, will be taking up residence in the iconic London County Hall on the Southbank later this year, unfolding across 26,000 square ft.
Get ready to be thrown into the thick of the action as you embark on a mission to help Paddington and The Brown family prepare for a very special day. Step into the world of Paddington and become immersed in some of the most iconic locations, culminating in a Windsor Gardens extravaganza.
This multi-sensory experience incorporates ground-breaking design, live performance, and video to capture the hearts of the entire family from ages 4-94. Themed food, beverage, and retail will also be available.
2023 marks 65 years since a kind bear from Peru with a big appetite for marmalade was first introduced to the world. Created by author Michael Bond in 1958, the first book, “A Bear Called Paddington”, introduced readers to the friendly and polite bear from Peru who is discovered by the Brown family at Paddington Station in London. The series of stories that followed, chronicle Paddington’s adventures in London and around the world.
THE PADDINGTON BEAR EXPERIENCE will be directed by Immersive Octopus, written by Katie Lyons (Peaky Blinders: The Rise, Camden Stables Market), designed by Rebecca Brower (Doctor Who: Time Fracture, West End), with costume design by Stewart J Charlesworth (Respect La Diva, West End), lighting design by Terry Cook (Dubai World Expo 2020) for Woodroffe Bassett, sound design by Luke Swaffield (Saw: The Escape Experience, Tower Hill) for Autograph and video design by Novak (Lumiere Festival, London, Durham and Derry-Londonderry).
