MAKE YOUR TOWN PADDINGTON’S NEW HOME
To celebrate the release of Paddington in Peru, Ordnance Survey has teamed up with STUDIOCANAL to help intrepid explorers discover Paddington Statues in various locations in the UK and Ireland.
The search is now on to find an exceptional home for one more specially made Paddington statue!
The Paddington Visits benches have been a huge success, there are now 23 of them in towns across the UK and Ireland, bringing joy to so many people. And now, to celebrate the success of Paddington in Peru, STUDIOCANAL is calling on people in towns and cities across the UK and Ireland to step forward and share why their location would be the best home for another replica of the marmalade-loving bear this festive season.
Complete with his signature red hat, blue duffle coat, and a marmalade sandwich in paw, Paddington could soon have a spot in your local park or town centre!
All you need to do is write to Paddington, telling him why your town is so special and marmalicious!
Paddington will be reviewing the entries, looking for iconic local landmarks to visit and the colourful
locals who can step into Mr. Gruber’s shoes and join him for a spot of tea. And of course, the
delicious local cuisine he will get to sample…even if it isn’t a marmalade sandwich!
The winning location will be announced in January next year, with the lucky town or city set to become part of Paddington Visits, the epic statue trail which has seen fans stopping for selfies in John O’Groats, sharing marmalade sandwiches in County Mayo and enjoying a friendly chat in Chester.
