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. This special event marks the official launch of the Ran and Ginny Fiennes grant, designed to support the next generation of emerging travellers and expeditioners.

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. This is a unique opportunity to celebrate the spirit of determination and discovery that continues to inspire travellers around the world.

Don’t miss this memorable evening as we honour the extraordinary achievements of Ran and Ginny Fiennes and celebrate the future of exploration.
