If you love Paddington™ – you’re going to love this. The special bear will visit Derby on Saturday, December 20, and you can meet him – for free. The meet-and-greet event will take place in Potters House Church, 2-3 St Peter’s Churchyard, near to St Peters Church in Derby, from 11am until 3.45pm.
Come along and say hello to everyone’s favourite bear from Peru and don’t forget to bring your camera as there will be plenty of opportunities to take photographs.
Gemma Pindard, Deputy Manager for the Cathedral Quarter BID and St Peters Quarter BID, said: “The team and I are thrilled to welcome Paddington™ to Derby. We know how many families are going to want to see him and it is wonderful that he will be in Derby from 11am.”
The unique event has been organised and funded by the St Peters Quarter BID as part of its commitment to bring a full programme of activities to the city in the run up to Christmas. Free tickets can be booked online, by clicking https://buytickets.at/stpetersquarterderby/1918932
Gemma said: “We have worked really hard to create a family-friendly Christmas atmosphere in Derby over the last few weeks and we have enjoyed some wonderful entertainment for shoppers to enjoy. To avoid disappointment, we are advising parents to book their free time slot as this guarantees meeting the character. On the day, we will be accepting walk-ins, but this will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Opportunities to meet your favourite character doesn’t come along very often so we hope as many families as possible will come and enjoy this fantastic, free event.”
