Everybody’s favourite bear has landed in Dubai Festival City Mall! In celebration of the new movie release of Paddington 2, Festival City Mall has created an entire world dedicated to Paddington Bear. Running until the 23rd December 2017 (…and possibly longer, so we hear!), Paddington World features everything from meet-and-greet areas and fun carnival games to a “Paddington Station” with arts and crafts.
We took a trip down to Festival City Mall and spent the day with Paddington himself… From iconic London sets such as the red telephone box and red London bus to stunning Christmas decorations, it’s time to get into the festive spirit with Paddington!
