Bring your own bear to Pictureville to mark Paddington Day

Dust off your duffle coat and pack your marmalade sandwiches, Paddington is coming to Pictureville!

On Sunday 20 October, the National Science and Media Museum’s Pictureville Cinema will be hosting Paddington Day, ahead of the release of the franchise’s third instalment, Paddington in Peru, this November.

To mark the occasion, Pictureville will be screening both Paddington and Paddington 2, giving audiences of all ages another chance to revisit the first two titles on the big screen. The pair will be screened back-to-back, with discounted individual tickets for each screening available for purchase now.

Adding to the excitement, this one-off event also offers a sneak peek at Paddington’s next adventure, Paddington in Peru. The extended trailer will be screened before both films for the first time on Paddington Day, giving audiences an exclusive first-look at Paddington’s next chapter before anyone else.

The screening is BYOB (Bring Your Own Bear!) with wristbands, stickers and colouring sheets included with your ticket. Tickets are on offer at a discounted price of just £3, meaning adults, children and bears of all ages can enjoy this magical day together.

About the National Science and Media Museum

The National Science and Media Museum in Bradford, West Yorkshire, opened in 1983, and has since become one of the most visited UK museums outside London. It draws on more than three million objects from its national collection to explore the science and culture of image and sound technologies, and their impact on our lives.    
   
The museum creates special exhibitions, interactive galleries and activities for families and adults, and is home to Pictureville, Yorkshire’s biggest independent cinema with three screens including Europe’s first IMAX and one of two public Cinerama venues in the world.

Please note, the museum remains temporarily closed to the public until January 2025 to undergo a ‘once-in-a-generation’ transformation.  For more information and updates on re-opening, please visit our website.
