A VERY Important Bear will be the guest of honour at one of the region’s top attractions this half-term.
Marmalade-loving Paddington will be bringing his inimitable style to the National Railway Museum in York from October 27 to November 4.
Paddington, who was voted Britain’s best animated character of all time at the 9th British Animation Awards, will be making appearances throughout the week.
As well as getting up close and personal to the museum’s collection of locomotives, wagons and carriages, the week-long event will see children take part in a teddy bear treasure hunt.
They will also get the chance to see how far they can throw a wellington boot, take part in craft events and storytelling, and be able to follow an interactive family trail and enjoying science shows.
