Join us for an inspiring tribute evening dedicated to the legendary Sir Ranulph and Lady Ginny Fiennes and their unparalleled contributions to the world of exploration through the Transglobe Expedition.

The evening will begin with a series of heartfelt vignettes from members of the original Transglobe Expedition team, celebrities and other prominent figures, sharing personal stories and reflections on the profound impact that Ran and Ginny Fiennes have had on the world of exploration. These tributes will set the stage for a lively panel discussion featuring past grant beneficiaries and other leading figures from the expedition community.
Through entertaining conversation and thoughtful reflection, the panel will explore the enduring legacy of the Transglobe Expedition, the first north-south circumnavigation of the Earth by surface transport, and its influence on modern-day exploration and adventure.
