Steve Backshall: Deadly Live! in Durham

Steve Backshall, the naturalist and presenter of BBC's Deadly... franchise, brings his live show to Durham. He has dived with great white sharks, caught king cobras, and explored remote caves and volcanoes for National Geographic, Discovery Channel, and the BBC. His television work includes Deadly 60, Expedition Borneo, and Lost Land of the Jaguar.

At this event, audiences can expect stories from his expeditions—from being hunted by a polar bear in Svalbard to discovering new species in Papua New Guinea. Backshall's live appearances have drawn up to 14,000 people, blending wildlife education with adventure. It is a chance to hear firsthand from an explorer who has climbed Mount Upuigma and descended into the crater of Mount Bosavi.

Backshall's passion for wildlife and conservation is central to his work. The show offers insight into his encounters with predators and his discoveries of endemic species, such as the Bosavi woolly rat.
