The world’s ‘greatest living explorer’, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, has begun his epic UK tour of talks about his remarkable life.

The adventurer started in Cheltenham earlier this week, and will now move on to Dorking for a show tonight, followed by Stockton next week before embarking on a 26-date tour for 2023 beginning in Bristol on January 3 and ending in Ipswich in December 2023.

Each event is a platform for the 78-year-old to open up to the audience on his many ambitious endeavours which have pushed his endurance levels to the very limits, inspiring generations and making him a pioneer of exploration with an unparalleled story to tell.

Among the former SAS demolition expert’s multiple record-breaking achievements, he was the first to reach both Poles, the first to cross the Antarctic and Arctic Ocean, and the first to circumnavigate the world along its polar axis.

Here’s the full tour list…
