Paddington bear will be returned to his bench in Newbury on WEDNESDAY 9th April 2025.
Event starts at 10:00am in Northbrook Street.

Give the kids (and grand kids) a big treat and take them there by train,if you can,then a short walk to Northbrook Street.

Did he pay a visit to family in Peru? 🐻 🇵🇪

Two drunken airmen thought it would be a hoot to pull him from his seat and run of with him

What a nonsense event. I hope the drunken pair have to pay for his reinstatement. Ours in Reading is quite a jolly fellow sitting happily on his bench.

My husband makes our own marmalade . He has just finished a batch and there are eight jars in the fridge as I speak.
We would never expect Paddington to leave London , but perhaps he will visit one day to taste it...........
