Polar Bear
Online Winter Roadshow
This winter is the first since the late 1980’s that we haven’t been out on the road on our popular winter roadshow of illustrated talks around the country. We will greatly miss speaking to you all in person, but do not despair! We are still going ahead with our roadshow in 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.
We warmly invite you, your friends and family, to get comfortable with a glass of wine and sit back as our experts guide you through some of the best wildlife experiences on the planet! Each evening will run from 7:30 – 9:30pm, with a short interval, and will operate over Zoom. Please register (for as many evenings as you wish) by clicking on the links below to reserve your place(s).
You can also catch up on previous presentation evenings below!
