The Paddington Bear™ Experience will once again receive a festive transformation this winter, welcoming visitors to a Christmas-themed adventure at County Hall on London’s South Bank from 10 November 2026 until 4 January 2027.
Inspired by the beloved bear created by Michael Bond, the immersive attraction will be decked out with seasonal decorations, including a 5.5-metre Christmas tree, illuminated Windsor Gardens and festive displays throughout the experience.
Guests will journey through some of the most recognisable locations from the Paddington stories, beginning at Paddington Station before travelling through London and arriving at No. 32 Windsor Gardens, where they help Paddington and the Brown family prepare for the Marmalade Day Festival.
The festive edition of the attraction will also feature a Christmas-inspired menu, with treats including gingerbread paws, mince pies and orange hot chocolate, alongside Paddington’s famous marmalade sandwiches.
Created by The Path Entertainment Group in collaboration with STUDIOCANAL KIDS & FAMILY Ltd and Lionsgate, the attraction spans more than 26,000 square feet within County Hall and combines immersive storytelling, interactive games, character encounters and multi-sensory experiences.
The experience is directed by Tom Maller for Immersive Octopus and written by Katie Lyons, with design by Rebecca Brower. The creative team also includes costume designer Stewart J Charlesworth, lighting designer Terry Cook, sound designer Luke Swaffield and video designer Novak.
Since opening, The Paddington Bear™ Experience has invited families to step directly into Paddington’s world, culminating in a Windsor Gardens street party where visitors can enjoy food, entertainment and festive activities alongside the Brown family.
The seasonal event aims to provide a family-friendly Christmas outing, bringing together immersive theatre, interactive attractions and the enduring appeal of one of Britain’s best-loved characters.
