The Paddington Bear Experience to celebrate Halloween in London

The Paddington Bear Experience will be transformed for Halloween.

A multi-sensory interactive experience inspired by Paddington Bear, the beloved children’s character created by author Michael Bond in 1958, the piece incorporates live performance and video and takes place across 26,000 square ft at London’s County Hall on the South Bank.

Participants embark on a mission to help Paddington and the Brown family prepare for a special day, becoming immersed in some of the iconic locations from the Paddington stories. The experience culminates in a Windsor Gardens extravaganza, while themed food, beverage, and retail are available.

From 18 October to 2 November, families are invited to enjoy an exclusive “trick or treat” adventure at the immersive attraction.

The makeover will see Windsor Gardens decorated for autumn, and guests visiting after 3pm can upgrade their visit to include a souvenir pumpkin sweet bucket, a selection of sweet treats throughout the experience (handed out by beloved characters) and a pair of exclusive Paddington Bear ears.

The Paddington Bear Experience is presented by the Path Entertainment Group and the Studio Canal Kids and Family in partnership with Lionsgate. It is directed by Immersive Octopus, written by Katie Lyons, designed by Rebecca Brower, with costume design by Stewart J Charlesworth, lighting design by Terry Cook, sound design by Luke Swaffield for Autograph, and video design by Novak.

The show runs alongside Witness for the Prosecution, which has been playing at London’s County Hall since 2017, and the immersive piece is not associated with the Paddington musical, which arrives in the West End this autumn.
