World-renowned explorer Levison Wood to bring his new national tour to Salford
A best-selling author, explorer and TV presenter is heading to Greater Manchester this spring as he embarks on an exciting new tour.
British Army Officer Major Levison Wood is a Sunday Times best-selling author and photographer who has worked in more than 120 countries, presented eight TV series and written 12 acclaimed books.
The explorer and TV presenter has today announced a brand new tour called ‘Walking the World: A Life of Exploration and Adventure’ and he will be bringing it to Lytham later this year.
Visiting 19 towns and cities, including a date at the Lowry in Salford on Tuesday, May 6, Levison will captivate audiences with extraordinary stories from more than 20 years of exploration, including exclusive insights into his brand-new book, The Great Tree Story: How Forests Have Shaped Our World, and a behind-the-scenes look at the development of a major film.
From the icy peaks of the Himalayas and the sun-scorched deserts of Arabia to the volatile borders of the Middle East, Levison’s remarkable adventures will transport fans to some of the world’s most breathtaking and challenging landscapes.
