EVENT INFO...

We’re so excited that Paddington has arrived at Cardiff Castle as part of a UK and Ireland wide trail of 23 bear-y special statues, celebrating the release of the new film PADDINGTON IN PERU.

Paddington is a friendly bear and will need lots of company, so why not step into Mr. Gruber’s shoes and sit down for a chat, don’t forget to take a selfie.

LOCATION

  • Paddington is located in the Public Square at Cardiff Castle. It is free for visitors to enter this part of the site.

DATES & TIMES

  • Paddington doesn’t have a leaving date yet please so don’t worry; everyone will get a chance to spend time with him.
  • Please visit our web page for information about our opening hours.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Paddington isn’t his real ‘bear’ name. He has a Peruvian name ‘Pastuzo’ (pronounced in roars) which he shares with his uncle.
  • Paddington does not have a middle name.
  • Paddington has two birthdays per year (just like the King)! He celebrates these on 25th June and 25th December.

REMEMBER…

  • “A wise bear always keeps a marmalade sandwich in his hat, in case of emergency.”

Please look after this bear. Thank you.

It’s not everyday we receive a visit from a bear as famous as Paddington and we want as many visitors as possible to enjoy their time with him during his stay. So please help us to look after Paddington, keep the area tidy and don’t place or leave any items on him, including clothing, litter, drinks, stickers, etc. Thank you very much.
