Polar Bear

Online Winter Roadshow

This winter was the first since the late 1980’s that we hadn’t been out on the road on our popular winter roadshow, delivering illustrated talks around the country. We greatly missed speaking to you all in person, but we were delighted to go ahead with our roadshow for 2021 in the form of a series of live online presentations throughout January, February and into March, with each covering a different geographical area and offering an opportunity to present questions to our expert staff and leaders. Hundreds of you tuned in to watch each evening, and it was a pleasure to provide you all with some inspiration and welcome escapism!

We warmly invite you, your friends and family, to get comfortable with a glass of wine and catch up on our series of presentation evenings below.
