The festive season has arrived on London’s South Bank, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with The Paddington Bear Experience at County Hall. From 12 November to 5 January 2026, visitors can step into the charming world of one of Britain’s most beloved characters for an unforgettable family day out.
A Magical Immersive Journey Through Paddington’s London
Created by The Path Entertainment Group in collaboration with STUDIOCANAL KIDS & FAMILY Ltd and Lionsgate, this immersive attraction spans over 26,000 square feet inside the iconic County Hall building. Guests are invited to travel through Paddington’s story – beginning at the hustle and bustle of Paddington Station, guided by a cheerful Station Master, before journeying through London landmarks and into the Browns’ home at 32 Windsor Gardens.
This Christmas, the venue transforms into a festive wonderland, complete with a magnificent 5.5-metre Christmas tree, twinkling lights, and a heartwarming seasonal menu. Visitors can indulge in comforting British dishes such as chicken and leek pie or a vegetarian alternative, along with sweet treats like warm apple pie and the signature Peruvian orange hot chocolate.
Families will be whisked into a whirlwind of multi-sensory fun as they help Paddington and the Browns prepare for the Marmalade Day Festival. The adventure concludes with a lively Windsor Gardens street party, where guests can enjoy food, music, and plenty of marmalade-themed surprises.
With interactive games, character encounters, and endless charm, The Paddington Bear Experience captures the joy of Christmas and the magic of live storytelling – making it one of London’s must-see family theatre experiences this winter.
