Paddington-inspired adventures await visitors to the Eden Project this February half-term

To celebrate the home release of Paddington in Peru, the Eden Project is hosting a February half-term programme from February 15 to 23, with fun for all the family and, in an exclusive for the South West this half-term, a chance to meet the loveable bear himself.

Visitors will embark on a Paddington-inspired adventure through the jungle in search of six treasures of the rainforest. While navigating the lush greenery they must find hidden clues and work as a team to solve intriguing puzzles, uncover hidden letters and reveal a secret word. 

In the heart of the Rainforest Biome, visitors will have a special opportunity to meet and capture a memorable moment with Paddington in a surrounding reminiscent of the Peruvian jungle (Monday 17 to Sunday 23 only).

The Mediterranean Biome will provide an opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of traditional folk music heard in locations such as Peru. Three-piece band Katari will entertain with authentic performances using panpipes and other acoustic instruments. Following each performance, visitors can participate in informative, guided music workshops.

Additionally, a cosy crafts area will provide the perfect space to unwind in a world of delightful curiosities. Here visitors can try their hand at making their own knotted wristband and can get creative with some Paddington in Peru activity sheets.

Simon Townsend, the Eden Project’s general manager, said: “Paddington in Peru is a heart-warming depiction of the diversity and spirit of the rainforest, and we are thrilled to showcase and celebrate that at the Eden Project this half-term in our own majestic Rainforest Biome and across the site. 

“The Eden Project is all about connection, bringing people together and creating wonderful memories and so we are excited that visitors can spend a moment meeting Paddington here this February and can enjoy a host of fun activities together.”

Paddington in Peru brings Paddington's story back to Peru as he returns to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who resides at the Home for Retired Bears. With the Brown Family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey through the Amazon rainforest and up to the mountain peaks of Peru. Paddington in Peru is available to pre-order now.
