A Paddington Bear statue is set to visit Peterborough ahead of the release of new movie Paddington in Peru.

STUDIOCANAL, who are behind the event, said the statue will sport the bear’s signature red hat, blue duffle coat, and, naturally, a marmalade sandwich in paw.

Fans, friends, and family can step into Mr. Gruber’s shoes, sit with Paddington for a spot of tea, a sandwich or two, or even write a postcard to Aunt Lucy.

Actor Hugh Bonneville, who plays Mr. Brown in the film, said: “I am thrilled to reveal we are going to be unveiling a number of benches across the UK, all featuring a statue of our beloved bear.

“Ahead of the new film, fans, families and friends can sit down and have a chat with the marmalade loving bear, so watch this space for more information about Paddington… coming to a bench near you.”

The new film will be in cinemas from November 8.
