A Paddington Bear statue is coming to Birmingham as part of new StudioCanal tour, Paddington Visits.

In celebration of the forthcoming release of Paddington in Peru, the 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.

Paddington Visits launches ahead of the bear’s latest cinematic outing, Paddington in Peru, in UK cinemas on 8 November. This new adventure will see Paddington return home to the Peruvian jungle to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, now a resident at the Home for Retired Bears. With The Brown Family and Mrs Bird in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mysterious disappearance plunges them into an unexpected journey from the Amazon rainforest to the mountain peaks of Peru.
