What does it really take to become an explorer?

Find out how as we join author, TV presenter, and explorer Lucy Shepherd for an unforgettable evening celebrating her debut book, Into the Wild - The Making of an Explorer 📖

Discover what happened when Lucy led an all-Indigenous Amerindian team on a gruelling 50-day journey through the heart of the Amazon rainforest: Guyana’s unforgiving Kanuku Mountains; and what it truly means to rely on instinct, teamwork, and resilience when there is no clear way forward.

This isn't just a survival story, it’s a thrilling, inspiring reminder of why the world's wild places still matter, and what they reveal about the human spirit.
