When a small, lost bear from Peru arrives in London hoping to find a new home, a chance meeting with the Brown family welcomes him into the charming world of Windsor Gardens. However, it isn't that easy because a vengeful villain has her sights set on Paddington, the Browns will have to embark on the ultimate rescue mission, realising they need this special bear as much as he needs them!

Jam-packed with show-stopping songs, dazzling choreography, mischief and mayhem at every turn - everything you need for the ultimate family musical in the West End this winter!

The musical will begin performances on 1 November.
