PADDINGTON Bear came to visit the Harvey Centre last weekend.

The popular bear entertained lots of children and their parents at the popular shopping centre.

The Harvey Centre had stocked up on marmalade reserves in anticipation of a visit from a bear-y special guest.

Paddington appeared as part of a number of free story telling sessions.

Bryan Young, Centre Manager at The Harvey Centre said: “The appeal of Paddington spans the generations and his visit was very well received by everyone.”
