Regional Theatres Programme
The Regional Theatres Programme was established in 2002 to promote geography to the wider public across England and Wales.
Recent talks include a visual exploration of Living Africa by renowned photographer Steve Bloom and the sell-out Survivors of the Ice Age by BBC presenter Alice Roberts, exploring a global tale of life and death from mammoth extinction to human survival.
From topical issues to peoples, places and cultures and exploration, fieldwork and adventure there is something for everyone keen to discover more about the world in which we live. Not all speakers are well known, but they are all experts in their fields and offer a unique insight into our planet.
Enjoy an exploration theme this summer:
Join Stephen Venables, one of the most well-known and respected mountaineers of his generation, on an intimate portrayal of the Everest story.
Venables reached the summit alone and without the help of supplementary oxygen in 1988.
Twenty five years on, he relives that epic feat “perhaps the most adventurous expedition in Everest’s history”, weaving his own story into the bigger picture of Everest exploration from Captain Noel’s first illegal trespass of 1912, to the pre-war attempts, the 1953 triumph and today’s mass guided-climbs. A must for anyone with a thirst for adventure.
Kari Herbert, daughter of polar explorer Wally Herbert will present a fascinating insight into the lives of some of the world’s most famous polar explorers through the eyes of the women who inspired them to achieve great things.
