Paddington Marmalade Messiness

‘Marmalade Messiness’ is an outdoor adventure for families who love to immerse themselves in storytelling, theatre and puppetry.

On this unique adventure, you will explore Dalkeith Country Park locating pawprints, half-eaten marmalade sandwiches and other clues. You’ll meet characters from the famous stories, played by actors and puppeteers, all on a mission to help you locate Paddington.

This Summer, join Paddington for a unique adventure at Dalkeith Country Park.  Mrs Bird has brought Paddington, and his friend Pigeonton to Dalkeith Palace to show them where the best marmalade is made. Her old friend from school is the Palace Cook and has promised to give Mrs Bird a tour of the Palace kitchens. However, things have gone awry. Mrs Bird can’t seem to find Paddington in the Palace grounds and desperately needs your help to find him!  

Paddington has made sure there are plenty opportunities to enjoy foodie goods, hot and cold drinks and free activities before and after the adventure. Get creative in the Activity Area with plenty to keep the little ones entertained, including colouring in, dot to dot and competitions. And don’t forget to visit the Paddington shop – packed full of wonderful gifts to remember your day.
