Award-winning wildlife photographer and filmmaker Gordon Buchanan is bringing his live tour ‘Lions and Tigers and Bears with Gordon Buchanan’ to Eastbourne in 2025.
With a life dedicated to exploring the untamed beauty of the natural world, Gordon Buchanan will visit 35 venues across England, Scotland and Wales – including Eastbourne Congress Theatre on Friday, March 14.
‘Lions and Tigers and Bears with Gordon Buchanan’ will follow the success of Gordon’s sold-out 30th-anniversary tour in 2023 and will see him recount tales from his thrilling encounters with some of nature’s most fascinating animals.
Gordon Buchanan said: “Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my! It could be a line straight from The Wizard of Oz, but there’s no fiction here, just amazing facts as I get the chance to bring to life the adventures I’ve had the absolute privilege to experience.
“Bears and big cats are the undisputed icons of the animal kingdom, and I’ve spent a lifetime capturing them on film.
“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.
“There has been mud, sweat, tears, tender moments and terrifying encounters, and I can’t wait to meet more animal lovers and tell more tales as I hit the road again.”
Hailed as Scotland’s own David Attenborough, Gordon Buchanan has explored rainforests, snowy landscapes and towering mountains.
All his travels had a single mission: to capture the majestic bears and big cats on film and reveal their secrets to a global audience.
His new tour will feature his adventures with pandas, grizzlies, tigers, jaguars and more- making for a night of adventure, awe and wonder.
Gordon grew up on the Isle of Mull. He began his career in filmmaking in 1989 as an assistant to the acclaimed survival cameraman Nick Gordon- travelling to Sierra Leone to document animals in the Gola Rainforest.
He went on to work on the Big Cat Diary series and the long-running expedition series Lost Land of the Volcano for the BBC.
The Family & Me documentaries began in 2010 when Gordon was featured alongside Minnesota black bears, with Gordon going on to showcase some of the world’s most fascinating animals.
Most recently, Gordon has been on screens as part of the presenting team on Our Changing Plant, a seven-year diary charting the fight to save the planet’s ecosystems.
Now, he is filming Big Cats 24/7, tracking lions, leopards and cheetahs in Botswana for six months for a new BBC series.
Tickets go on general sale from Friday, June 28.
