An Evening With Sir Chris Hoy will take place on 28 November 2026 at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. The event features various performers and centres around Sir Chris Hoy's reflections on facing life-changing news, drawing from his experiences as one of Britain’s most celebrated Olympians. Further details, including ticket prices, can be found on the event's website.
What do you hold onto when you're told you have between two and four years left to live? Sir Chris Hoy is one of Britain’s greatest Olympians. A six-time Olympic gold medallist and 11-time world champion, his career was built on mastering the split-second moments that define victory. In 2024, he faced a different kind of test: a terminal Stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. In this conversation, Chris will speak candidly about the years since his diagnosis, the grief, the recalibration, and the unexpected clarity that can follow. He'll describe founding Tour de 4, the charity cycling event that brought together over 5,000 riders last year and raised more than £3 million for cancer charities. He'll talk about the role of his family— including his wife Sarra, who received her own serious diagnosis at the same time—and the way crisis can strip life back to what genuinely matters. At the heart of the evening is a simple but hard-won idea: that it is the small things, the ordinary moments most of us let pass unnoticed, that turn out to carry the most weight. Chris will also discuss his book All That Matters, part memoir, part guide to living with greater attention. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Chris’ story in his own words, and to ask your own questions in an evening of insight, courage, and inspiration. Do consider donating to Prostate Cancer UK, where every pound goes toward helping men prevent, fight and navigate prostate cancer. You can donate an amount of your choice here https://prostatecanceruk.org Event will be captioned
