A large scale interactive experience inspired by Paddington Bear will open at London’s County Hall on the Southbank later this year.
Covering 26,000 square feet, The Paddington Bear Experience will be a multi-sensory experience incorporating ground-breaking design, live performance, and video to capture the hearts of the entire family from ages 4-94.
Audience will “step into the world of Paddington and be immersed in some of the most iconic locations, culminating in a Windsor Gardens extravaganza.” The experience will be themed along the lines of helping Paddington and the Brown family prepare for a very special occasion.
2023 marks 65 years since a kind bear from Peru with a big appetite for marmalade was first introduced to 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).
The Paddington Bear Experience is presented by The Path Entertainment Group and The Copyrights Group in partnership with Lionsgate, Copyrights’ agent for experiences.
