Pot a Wellie for Paddington
Saturday 18 August
10.30am - 11.30am 11pm - 2pm
Michael Bond created Paddington over 60 years ago. The loveable bear is famous for marmalade sandwiches, a hard stare and his wellies, amongst other things.
In 1958 A Bear Called Paddington was
first published and to celebrate its 60th anniversary the Cooper Gallery will be potting wellies in the garden.
Just bring along an old wellie, fill it with compost and pop in a plant. Expert horticulturist Emily Gratton-Rayson will be on hand to help.
