wildernessLectures

We have a new website! From now on we will be based at www.wildernesslive.com so please head there to keep up to date with all the latest Wilderness news. 

A winter series of public lectures in Bristol the theme of which is world-wide adventure.

Our lecturers are well known explorers, mountaineers, travel writers, TV personalities, adventure sports personalities or anyone who has an epic story to tell and can enthral our audience with a rattling good yarn. The talks are invariably illustrated with slides and/or film.

You can buy tickets from each lecture page when each event is finalised. Events are all linked from the What's On page which you can find in the menu at the top. 

 

The old guard have retired!

The original team of Steve Berry, Steve Marriott and Dick Willis have taken a well-earned break. After running the series for over 30 years, and have handed Wilderness over to a new team of Asher Flatt, Emily Cant, Johnnie Ball and Sophie Foot.

Dick, Steve and Steve will still be around at lectures in future but now as members of an appreciative audience!
