Red hat? Check! Blue duffle coat? Check! Emergency marmalade sandwich? Triple check! STUDIOCANAL has officially announced a trail of Paddington Bear statues across the UK and Ireland to celebrate the forthcoming release of PADDINGTON IN PERU, arriving in UK cinemas on November 8th, 2024 and guess what? York’s getting one!

From Liverpool to Land’s End to Birmingham to Bury St Edmunds, and of course, London Paddington,
bear-y special statues are coming to cities, towns, and beauty spots across the UK and Ireland 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! We’ll keep you posted with all the details as we have them.
