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.
Hello all, just a few updates, we have been busy preparing the programme for our 25th anniversary autumn school.

The museum will be opening at the end of the summer & will be open for SAS25.
Our massive congratulations to Frank Taaffe, on his recent award of the Shackleton Medal from the SRGS. The Shackleton Medal is awarded for leadership & citizenship in a geographical field, & was awarded to Frank for his tireless work in establishing the autumn school & museum
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.

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!!
