 PADDINGTON LO-COMMOTION 

PADDINGTON LO-COMMOTION is an immersive outdoor adventure for families with young children. A mix of live performance, puppetry, and outdoor adventures staged across the grounds of Blenheim Palace.

PADDINGTON LO-COMMOTION will preview from Tuesday 27 June 2023, and play throughout the summer holidays, ending on Sunday 3 September 2023.

The show is a 55 minute adventure and bookable slots will be available each day. Audiences will travel on foot through the UNESCO World Heritage Site to meet their favourite characters from the Paddington stories and search for ‘buried treasure’. There is also an opportunity to hop on board a real miniature, locomotive train (subject to availability).

Additonal to the cost of a standard show ticket there is the opportunity to add an official photograph with Paddington and for younger entrants aged 4 - 10 years the opportunity to drive a mini Rover emergency vehicle. Participants can enjoy free arts and crafts-based activities too.

After a hugely successful inaugural show at Blenheim Palace last summer for The Peter Rabbit Garden Adventure, Histrionic Productions is delighted to be staging PADDINGTON LO-COMMOTION this Summer. The combination of Paddington, a cracking new story, full of entertainment, mishap and interactivity, and the beautiful surroundings of Blenheim Palace is perfect theatrical-alchemy for this family, immersive adventure for 2023. We are delighted to be back. It's the perfect summer day out for the whole family! Sheer excitement for all ages and perfect for lovers of trains, fire engines and of course, Paddington himself.” Adam McKenzie Wylie, Founder, Histrionic Productions Ltd

“It’s fantastic to be hosting another memorable and unique family experience at Britain’s Greatest Palace, following on from the success and popularity of Peter Rabbit last summer.” Heather Carter, Managing Director, Visitor Attraction at Blenheim Palace

“We are thrilled to be collaborating with Histrionic Productions for a second Paddington adventure, this time on the beautiful grounds of Blenheim Palace. PADDINGTON LO-COMMOTION is the perfect summer day out for all Paddington fans and little adventurers who share Paddington’s appetite for discovery and outdoor fun.” Polly Emery, Senior Vice President Brand and International Licensing, The Copyrights Group (a STUDIOCANAL company)

The show is supported by GWR and Jaguar Land Rover Classic.
