  • Codsall Village Hall 59 Wolverhampton Road Codsall WV8 1PL (map)

Sir Ernest Shackleton was the epitome of a polar explorer. His first expedition was with Captain Scott who in 1903 sent him home resulting in a rift between the two men. Shackleton made an unsuccessful attempt for the South Pole in 1907. He returned to the Antarctic in 1914 to lead an ambitious expedition to cross the Antarctic continent. His ship Endurance became trapped in ice resulting in the most incredible struggle for survival in history. Shackleton would lead 28 men to safety after an 800-mile voyage in a lifeboat. Andrew Lound tells his story accompanied by music, images, video and sound effects.  All the drama and fight for survival is here in an uplifting retelling of the famous voyage.
