About This Event

Sir David Hempleman-Adams shares his lifelong adventures during an Inspiring People Talk on 16 September 2026 at The Glasgow Academy Kelvinbridge in Glasgow. Tickets for this community event can be purchased through the official website.

Battling against the elements in the harshest climates known to man, often steeling himself against illness and injury, Sir David Hempleman-Adams shares stories from his extraordinary lifetime of global expeditions. He is the living breathing personification of the idea that you should never let go of childhood dreams of adventure. Join Sir David who will share stories of over 40 years of extreme adventure, including the first person in history to reach all four poles and scale the highest peaks on all seven continents as well as the first person to make a hot air balloon flight across the Andean mountains.
