However, it is recommended to allow for additional time for arrival, looking at the photographs etc. It's the biggest Christmas grotto experience in Greater Manchester - and this year there's a special guest joining Santa at the Trafford Centre in the form of Paddington Bear. The Christmas with Paddington Experience has officially launched and hundreds of families will be heading along to explore the new attraction in the weeks ahead. Christmas with Paddington will be a magical traditional grotto experience open every weekend from November 13th, and every day in December until the 24th Dec 2021. After contemplating a jar of marmalade as a gift for Mr Curry, Paddington sets off in search of something more unique – as Mr Brown has always said: “There’s no one quite like Mr Curry!”
Christmas in Paddington, our top picks | Paddington
Christmas with Paddington has been designed and created on license exclusively for Cribbs by Bakehouse. Each element is being lovingly crafted by a team of artisan makers, scenic designers, script writers and costumiers from our HQ in Fishponds, Bristol. You see, your favourite bear, Paddington believes that Santa Claus should receive something extra special this year because he spends his time making everyone else happy. And there’s nothing Paddington Bear loves more than…sweet orange marmalade. With lively and charming elf characters to meet, enchanting interactive scenes, and plenty of special photo opportunities along the way, Christmas with Paddington is a must-see attraction for families looking for sumptuous, traditional, festive magic this year. Kate Statham, Managing Director said “ Our work takes us to high streets and shopping centres all over the country, so it is an absolute pleasure to be creating something of this magnitude for Cribbs at our home here in Bristol, during our anniversary year. We have nearly 40 people currently working on the event, designing and building the set, creating interactives, writing scripts and stitching costumes, and by the end of December we will have employed around 100 people to bring the Christmas magic to the people of the South West.”Inside the house itself, guests can take a peek inside the kitchen where Paddington has been hard at work making his favourite marmalade. There are mountains of oranges and pans bubbling over with the orange stuff. And of course you then have to pay for the photos your kids have taken with both Paddington AND Santa, so it can end up expensive with the add-ons, be warned. The shopping centre has promised a magical tour where families can join the much-loved bear on his journey to meet Santa. This year's Christmas Grotto at the Trafford Centre will have an extra special guest - with Paddington Bear joining the fun for the first time. The shopping mall has announced that it will open its Christmas with Paddington Grotto Experience as part of the Tinseltown festive extravaganaza.

During the experience, visitors will be invited to enter the Christmas with Paddington entranceway full of exciting photo ops for all ages, before travelling through snowy festive trees and street scenes, including an interactive doll’s house and Paddington’s famous attic window. They will get to tiptoe across the Christmas night-time rooftops, before being transported to the hallway of the Browns’ house to meet Paddington himself. After pausing for a photo with this friendly bear, families will be guided in individual family groups to meet Santa in the armchair of the Browns’ cosy lounge. Santa himself had great banter, and asked the kids what they would like for Christmas this year. There are decorative "presents" all over the room, and my three-year-old kept grabbing at them and trying to take the ribbons off. Story telling sessions run in the daytime on weekdays from 12noon to 3.30pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Friday until December 2. Coming to Bristol is a Winter Wonderland featuring none other than Paddington Bear. It was beary successful last year so you can expect it to be majorly popular this year!
