Visitors will take part in an immersive experience in London's County Hall, which is set on the Southbank.

During the multi-sensory experience, guests will help Paddington and the Brown family to prepare for a special day out.

Families will be transported to iconic locations from the world of Paddington Bear, including Windsor Gardens, and can expect live performances as well as themed food and drink.

It's not the only new attraction coming to the UK this year.

A new Gruffalo tourist attraction is opening on Blackpool's seafront later this year.

The £2.3million attraction, which has been in the making for 18 months, will bring together six stories from the creators Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

The Gruffalo & Friends Clubhouse is an indoor play adventure where families can meet some of the famous characters.

From the deep dark wood in the Gruffalo to Princess Pearl's castle in Zog, guests can play alongside the children's book characters.

The attraction, which has been developed in partnership with Merlin Entertainments, Magic Light, and Blackpool Council, is set to open in May.

Meanwhile, a new Peter Rabbit attraction has opened its doors in Covent Garden in time for Easter.

The 50-minute experience, taking place in London, will be a mix of live performances and puppet shows.
