About

Join us on Wednesday 19th November 2025 for an unmissable live event featuring the one and only Ant Middleton.

From joining the British Army in 1998, and becoming a Special Forces Operator, to adventures with Hollywood star Rebel Wilson and the late Liam Payne; to attending the recent inauguration of President Trump, and the recent media coverage of his upcoming potential London Mayor candidacy…to successfully summiting both K2 and Everest: for a 44-year old man, Ant has led an incredible life so far.

Fresh from his latest expedition conquering K2 – and spending time in the USA with team Trump for the globally watched presidential inauguration – the fearless adventurer, endurance expert, and former star of SAS: Who Dares Wins appears live on stage, sharing uncensored and unheard stories of grit, determination and resilience in the face of extreme challenges – how his life of serving in the Special Forces and engaging in unimaginable life-affirming experiences in the battlefield led him to TV, writing best-selling books, and meeting some of the most incredible people – both in and out of the spotlight – who both inspire and motivate Ant to continue the quest in becoming the best version of himself.

From leading daring expeditions in the world's most unforgiving environments to mastering the mindset needed to overcome fear, failure, and adversity, to commemorating the anniversary of the D-Day Landings with a battlefield expedition in France, Ant's life stories will both fascinate and inspire you to empower you to conquer your own challenges.

This is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand how he's pushed his body and mind to their limits and what it truly means to embrace a life of resilience and endurance.

From commando in the Royal Marines with 40 Commando and later as an elite operator with the SBS, Ant shares the lessons learned from the battlefield that have helped him overcome challenges throughout his life.

Whether you're looking to ignite your inner adventurer or seeking insight into the elite military mindset, or whether you want to here the fascinating stories of a man who has led a diverse and incredible life so far – this is an evening you won't forget.
