Polar Bear

Online Winter Roadshow

Our Online Roadshow ran over the winter months of 2020 and 2021. Launching our traditional Roadshow (usually held in venues across the UK) online for the first time was a step into the unknown, but we were delighted to be joined by hundreds of viewers every evening! Confined indoors by lockdown and cold winter nights, our expert staff and leaders were pleased to provide you all with some inspiration, welcome escapism and a warm-hearted Naturetrek community in which to ask us, and fellow travellers, questions about your wildlife holiday plans – all without leaving your living room!

If you missed any of the presentations from earlier in the year, then we warmly invite you to get comfortable with a glass of wine and some nibbles, and tune in to the recordings below. 

The Roadshow will be back later in 2022 – watch this space!
