Paddington bench statue at Norwich Cathedral
Arriving just in time for February half-term, the unveiling event was attended by local schoolchildren, Cathedral choristers and the Dean of Norwich, as everyone gathered to welcome their favourite bear to the city. He’ll be in Norwich for the ‘foreseeable’ future.
The Norwich statue is part of the Paddington Visits statue trail, which has seen 23 statues appear in cities, towns and beauty spots all over the UK and Ireland since October last year.
The trail has been a huge success, with fans from all over stopping for selfies with Paddington in locations from John O’Groats to County Mayo, to Chester.
Norwich makes it the 24th and STUDIOCANAL has partnered with Ordnance Survey to help fans find the statues. For more details, visit Ordnance Survey’s website.
