Join us for an elegant gala dinner in celebration of the enduring legacy of the Transglobe Expedition Trust. This exclusive evening offers a unique opportunity to dine in style while supporting a cause that champions purposeful travel and exploration.

As we gather to honour the remarkable achievements of the world’s first north-south circumnavigation of the Earth by surface transport, your presence will help ensure that the spirit of adventure continues to thrive. The funds raised during this special event will contribute to enabling future grants to be awarded in the name of Ran and Ginny Fiennes, inspiring the next generation of expeditioners.

Indulge in a sumptuous meal, engage in lively conversation with fellow travellers, and take part in our efforts to sustain the legacy Ran and Ginny Fiennes. Together, we can ensure that the values of courage, curiosity, and discovery remain alive for generations to come.
