Vue Swindon is marking the arrival of Paddington in Peru this November by dedicating a day to the beloved bear.

Sunday 20 October is officially Paddington Day, and on that day if fans see Paddington or Paddington 2 at Vue they’ll get an exclusive sneak peek of Paddington in Peru. 

A spokesperson said: "Paddington-lovers will also receive an eco-friendly wristband with their ticket to take home as a keepsake of the celebrations."  

As well as screening on Paddington Day, Paddington and Paddington 2 are being screened from today and throughout this month at Vue.

Both films follow the Peruvian bear (Ben Wishaw) as he navigates life in London with his adopted family, the Browns. In his first outing, he must escape the evil clutches of taxidermist Millicent Clyde (Nicole Kidman), while the second film sees him up against master thief Phoenix Buchanan (Hugh Grant).  

The third title in the series is heading to cinemas from 8 November. It follows Paddington and the Brown family as they visit Aunt Lucy in Peru, but a mystery sends them to the Amazon rainforest and up Peruvian mountains... 

Rob Lea, Head of Screen Content of Vue UK and Ireland, said: “We can’t wait to celebrate the nation's favourite marmalade-loving bear this October. We’re inviting fellow fans to make the most of having both Paddington and Paddington 2 back at Vue and seeing them the way they should be seen - on the big screen.”
