Meet Paddington at Grosvenor Shopping Centre This Easter Half Term

 

Looking for fun things to do in Chester with the kids this Easter half term? Don’t miss your chance to meet the one and only Paddington Bear, right here at Grosvenor Shopping Centre throughout April!

 

As part of Chester BID's city-wide Andean Adventure Trail, Paddington is stopping by Grosvenor Shopping Centre for the month – and it’s the perfect free Easter activity for families visiting Chester.

 

What’s the Andean Adventure Trail?

 

Paddington is on a special adventure across Chester, visiting six key locations between February and July. At each stop, including Grosvenor Shopping Centre, families can collect a sticker for their Andean Adventure Passport, available from the Visitor Information Centre. It’s all in support of raising awareness for the conservation of real Andean bears, in partnership with Chester Zoo.

 

Complete the trail and you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Chester Gift Card – perfect for treating the family!

Whether you’re planning a shopping day, stopping in for lunch, or just looking for ways to keep the kids entertained over Easter, Paddington’s visit is a must-see.

 

Here’s how to take part:

  • Pick up your passport from the Chester Visitor Information Centre
