Paddington Visits Bury St Edmunds

Everyone’s favourite bear has taken a seat in Bury St Edmunds as part of Paddington Visits, a far-reaching trail spanning the UK and Ireland to celebrate the forthcoming release of PADDINGTON IN PERU, arriving in cinemas on November 8th.

Fans of all ages can take a pew next to Paddington for selfies with the marmalade loving bear in the arc Shopping Centre Bury St Edmunds, a meticulously crafted and painted statue sporting the wise bear’s signature red hat, blue duffle coat, and, naturally, a marmalade sandwich in paw.

Bury St Edmunds is one of 23 locations taking part in Paddington Visits, a trail which will see the special statues appearing in cities, towns, and beauty spots all over the UK and Ireland.
