A famed French theme park is looking to bring Roman gladiator shows and World War One reconstruction to the UK if proposals for an almost 400-acre attraction are approved.

The team behind Puy du Fou – a historical theme park in Les Epesses in the Pays de la Loire region – plans to bring the “journey through time”, including Roman chariot races and jousting, to Cherwell in Oxford.

Puy du Fou, France’s second most popular park after Disneyland Paris since 1978, welcomes over 2.5 million visitors yearly.

Lauded as one of the world’s best “showparks”, it contains four period villages, 20 immersive shows, themed restaurants and over 2,000 animals from the Roman Era to the 20th century at the original site.
