Award-winning wildlife photographer and filmmaker Gordon Buchanan is due to bring his biggest-ever live tour to Frome Memorial Theatre this month.
Gordan Buchanan will recount thrilling encounters with pandas, grizzlies, tigers, jaguars and more when he comes to Frome Memorial Theatre with his tour, Lions and Tigers and Bears, on Thursday 29th January at 7.30pm.
Organisers say, “Gordon Buchanan has dedicated his life to exploring the untamed beauty of the natural world, from the bamboo forests of China to the snowy landscapes of Russia, from the towering Himalayas to the depths of the Amazon. His mission: to capture the majestic big cats and bears on film and reveal their secrets to a global audience.”
Hailed as Scotland’s own David Attenborough, Gordon Buchanan has most recently been seen tracking lions, leopards and cheetahs in Botswana for BBC One’s Big Cats 24/7 – with series two on screens early next year and filming on series three recently completed.
He said, “I’m really excited about doing the tour again. 2025 has been a crazy year, starting with the first outing of the tour and I’ve rounded it off with filming again in Botswana, then also in Kenya and now I can count down to the first show back on tour.
“I’m very spoilt seeing lions and tigers and bears in the wild, so it’s exciting to have the opportunity to tour the country and share these stories with thousands of people, being able to give them a sense of what it is like to get up close to polars in the Arctic, how fast you need to run to escape a sloth bear and what it’s like to bottle-feed grizzlies.
“Knowing that the show has been a success, and that audiences had a great time, makes it easier to prepare and look forward to going back out there. One of the joys of a live tour is seeing people leaving with a smile on their face, having had a fun, inspiring and uplifting evening, and I can’t wait to experience that again.”
