Family fun awaits as Paddington comes to the theatre this Easter half-term

THE EVENT WILL INCLUDE A LIVE ORCHESTRA PERFORMING THE INCREDIBLE FILM SCORE - AND TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW

-

Families can enjoy Paddington this Easter holiday as the heartwarmi­ng 2014 film arrives at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham. The special screening will kick off at 3pm on Thursday, April 4, 2024, and include a live orchestra performing Nick Urata’s fantastic calypso-inspired score. With child tickets starting from just £15*, the event is guaranteed to be the perfect treat for all the family.

EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE BEAR

Based on Michael Bond’s much-loved books, cherished by families since 1958, the charming story of Paddington follows the misadventu­res of a young bear from Peru who travels to London in search of a home. Taken in by the Brown family, who finds him lost and alone in Paddington Station, things then start looking up for this rare fellow. That is until he catches the eye of an ambitious museum taxidermis­t.

The film boasts an all-star ensemble cast including Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent and Nicole Kidman, with Ben Whishaw and Imelda Staunton as the respective voices of Paddington and Aunt Lucy.

It’s therefore no surprise the motion picture was a beloved and critically acclaimed box office hit on its release in the UK, winning the Empire Award for Best Comedy in 2015.

AN UNMISSABLE FAMILY EXPERIENCE

Owen Kent, head of events for Raymond Gubbay said: “We are thrilled to be presenting this exciting offering this year in venues across the UK.”

“It’s as rare as the bear himself to find a film that delights across generation­s with bags of wit, fun and feel-good moments for kids, parents and grandparen­ts alike. It has been great to collaborat­e with STUDIOCANA­L on this.” Catherine Serre, head of music at STUDIOCANA­L said: “STUDIOCANA­L is delighted to launch Paddington in Concert, an achievemen­t close to our hearts.” “This concert is a great opportunit­y to highlight Nick Urata’s joyful score performed by a live orchestra, an unforgetta­ble family experience.”
