The iconic French historical theme park, Puy du Fou, famed for its breathtaking live-action spectacles, has officially announced plans to expand across the Channel. Its first-ever British outpost is destined for the heart of Oxfordshire, promising to become a major new landmark for UK tourism and family entertainment.
The project represents a colossal investment, with an estimated £150 million earmarked for the development. This significant financial commitment underscores the scale and ambition of the venture, which is expected to create a substantial number of jobs and provide a powerful boost to the local economy.
A New Era of Live-Action Storytelling
Unlike traditional rollercoaster-based theme parks, Puy du Fou specialises in immersive, open-air performances that bring history to life. The park is renowned for its stunning special effects, intricate costumes, and hundreds of highly-trained live performers.
The UK park will follow this successful formula, featuring spectacular shows drawn from British history and legend. Visitors can anticipate awe-inspiring reenactments of famous battles, tales of ancient mythology, and stories of iconic historical figures, all presented with the park's signature cinematic flair.
Boosting UK Tourism and Local Economy
The arrival of Puy du Fou is a major coup for UK tourism. Located strategically in Oxfordshire, it will attract visitors from across Britain and around the world, offering a unique alternative to existing attractions.
The development is projected to create hundreds of jobs during the construction phase and thousands more once the park is fully operational, ranging from performers and technicians to hospitality and management roles. This will provide a significant and long-term economic benefit to the region.
With its global reputation for quality and innovation, the new Puy du Fou park is poised to become a must-visit destination, placing Oxfordshire firmly on the global map for world-class entertainment and historical immersion.
