2008 was Paddington’s 50th Anniversary!

On 13th October 1958 the very first Paddington book was published in the UK. To celebrate his 50th anniversary, this website was created to keep all of his fans up to date with the latest events, products, books and news that was going on throughout the year.

We also had quite a few competitions - click here to see what went on and who won what!
