Our lecture programme, accommodation options, weekend plans etc. will be released in the coming weeks but if you are definitely planning on coming then advice is to book accommodation as early as possible. This year will be well worth the effort.

Fantastic research & essay from friend of the Autumn School & 2024 lecturer Allegra. Well done!!
Two years ago, I discovered a love story hidden within Scott’s last Antarctic expedition—between two of his officers, Pennell and Atkinson. They survived the tragedy which took Scott’s life, but further dangers still lay ahead for them. https://t.co/7B1pRTNiXe

Quite a few people have been asking about 2025 Autumn School dates, so we can confirm Friday October 24 - Sunday October 26 at the Abbey. This year will be our 25th anniversary and will coincide with the opening of our new Shackleton Museum, so is definitely worth attending!!
