Lions and Tigers and Bears with Gordon Buchanan

Gordon Buchanan brings his live show Lions and Tigers and Bears to the Perth Concert Hall on Thursday 25 March 2027. It's part of his 2027 UK tour, and the Perth date is in the Gannochy Trust Auditorium, on Mill Street.

Buchanan is an award-winning wildlife photographer and filmmaker who's spent his career tracking big cats and bears across some of the most remote places on earth. He's worked in the bamboo forests of China, the snowy landscapes of Russia, the Himalayas, and deep in the Amazon, with the aim of filming these animals and sharing what he finds with a global audience. On stage, he talks through the encounters that come out of those trips — pandas, grizzlies, tigers and jaguars — and the heart-stopping moments, the mud, the sweat and the tears that have shaped his career. It's a look at the side of the work that doesn't always make it into the final cut.

The show follows on from his biggest ever live tour, so this is a continuation of that format rather than a completely new direction. If you've seen his work before, this is more of the same: the stories from the field told first-hand. It's a single-act evening, with Buchanan as the sole feature.

It starts at 19:30 and runs for 140 minutes, so you're looking at a good two-and-a-half hours. Tickets are £35.50, with a reduced price of £32.50 for disabled, unwaged, students and under-16s.
