A £600 million history-themed park is proposed for Bicester, including period villages, live shows, hotels, and natural features, aiming to open between April and October.

A £600 million history-themed destination park could soon be coming to Bicester, Oxfordshire, as theme park company Puy du Fou launches a public consultation on proposals.

The mega attraction is set to include four period villages and 13 live shows in which visitors can "immerse themselves in British history".

The project is expected to be open between April and October.

Plans for the destination park also include three hotels, each themed to different periods of British history, restaurants and a conference centre. On top of this, the attraction will host a variety of natural features such as ponds, lakes, and gardens, and more than 40 acres of wildflower meadows and 20,000 new trees.

Puy du Fou previously built other history-themed destinations in Les Epesses, France, and Toledo, Spain.
