Christian Lewis is an ex-paratrooper, fundraiser, adventurer and two-time Sunday Times Bestselling author.

In July 2023, he finished an epic 6 year, 19,000 mile walk around the entire UK coastline raising over £500,000 for the veteran’s charity, SSAFA.

Prior to the walk, Chris suffered with crippling anxiety and depression. Then, in summer 2017, whilst surfing - his only respite - he cast his eyes along the coast and made an impulsive decision that would change his life.

Chris set off on 1st August 2017 with nothing but a broken tent, a borrowed pair of boots and £10 in his pocket. He had no idea how long it would take him or if it was even possible.

What followed was the adventure of a lifetime which turned his life around.  

Join him for an entertaining and heartwarming evening of storytelling as he talks about his incredible journey, followed by a Q&A and a book signing.

His two bestselling books are ‘Finding Hildasay’ and ‘Hildasay to Home’.
