Throughout the adventure, you\u2019ll take part in games, challenges, and plenty of tasting opportunities as you help the beloved characters set up for this annual celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Like Paddington, you\u2019ll start your journey at the station \u2013 making your way through a full-sized train carriage before chatting with a friendly station master. Then, it\u2019s time to travel over to the Brown\u2019s house at No. 32 Windsor Gardens.<\/p>\n<p>You can take a trip through the home as well as through the leafy jungles of Peru, all before finishing up at the Marmalade Day Festival. Then, there\u2019s time for dancing, partying and having your photo taken with the beloved bear.<\/p>\n<p>Excited? Of course you are! Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the experience, including how to get tickets now.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a
