Join Hampshire History Trust for a special evening of history and inspiration, featuring two remarkable speakers - Dan Snow and Ed Rochead.
Dan Snow – Searching for EnduranceBAFTA‑award winning historian, broadcaster, and presenter Dan Snow takes us behind the scenes of one of the most extraordinary expeditions of recent years. In 2022, Dan joined the team that discovered Shackleton’s legendary shipwreck, Endurance, lying 3,000m beneath the ice of the Weddell Sea. He will share the inside story of the month‑long mission in Antarctica, revealing the challenges, discoveries, and significance of this historic find.
Dan is the host of History Hit, one of the world’s biggest history podcasts, and Founder of History Hit TV — described by The Times as “The Netflix of History.” He regularly presents national commemorative events for the BBC and is the author of the best‑selling On This Day in History.
Edward Rochead – Going South: The Daring Journeys of Amy Johnson
Honorary Professor Edward Rochead brings to life the pioneering flights of aviator Amy Johnson, whose record‑breaking journeys in the 1930s captured the imagination of a nation. From her solo flight to Australia in 1930 to her later journey to South Africa, Amy’s story is one of ambition, resilience, and courage.
This talk explores:
• Her groundbreaking flight to Australia • The challenges she faced as a woman in aviation • Her journey to South Africa • Her personal ties to Hampshire and their influence on her life
Edward is a sought‑after speaker known for blending history and technology in engaging talks. Based in Hampshire since 1999, he has inspired audiences across universities, local history societies, and community groups.
