The Paddington Bear Experience was absolutely magical from start to finish. I was super impressed. I came with my son who is a big Paddington Bear fan. It was exciting, the actors/characters were amazing and the different sets and rooms created the most beautiful atmosphere and story. I almost shed a tear at the end when animated Paddington Bear spoke about kindness and my son meeting and having his photo with Paddington Bear was a dream come true for him. Thank you, highly recommended. I loved the party room street scene at the end where treats could be purchased. I'm a harsh critic but couldn't fault this at all! 10/10!

Our group thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. The players were very good actors and the interaction with the audience was great. The bar section was disappointing but didn't spoil anything. We were happy with the progress through each section and the crowd numbers were ideal. £3 per bag was expensive. I would recommend the show if asked. Great for all ages.
