ACCLAIMED wildlife filmmaker and photographer Gordon Buchanan is heading to Launceston in 2027 as he returns to the road with his Lions and Tigers and Bears tour.

Gordon will visit almost 40 venues across England, Scotland and Wales – including a stop at the Town Hall in Launceston on Sunday, March 7.

A night of adventure, awe and wonder is promised as Gordon recounts thrilling encounters with some of nature’s most fascinating animals – including pandas, polar bears, grizzly bears, lions, tigers, jaguars and more.

Hailed as Scotland’s own David Attenborough, Gordon has dedicated his life to exploring the untamed beauty of the natural world, from forests to snowy landscapes and from towering mountains to the depths of the great rainforests.

All his travels are with a single mission in mind - to capture the majestic bears and big cats on film and reveal their secrets to a global audience.

Speaking about the new tour, Gordon said: “I am very excited to say that I am touring again in 2027 and cannot wait to come to Launceston.

“The response to the shows during the past two years has been absolutely brilliant so it’s going to be great to get back on the road with Lions and Tigers and Bears and meet more animal lovers across the country.

“We know it sounds like a line from The Wizard of Oz – oh my! – but I feel so incredibly privileged to have spent a lifetime observing these magnificent creatures who are simply the undisputed icons of the animal kingdom.

“From pandas in China to orphaned grizzlies in Russia, from high-altitude tigers in the Himalayas to jaguars in the depths of the Amazon, I have been fortunate enough to meet many of these incredible creatures in their natural habitats – and I love being able to share their secrets with audiences.”
