Talking of Adventure Series

Tori James

Tori James is a professional adventurer, author and keynote speaker.

Tori is the first Welsh woman to climb Mount Everest. She was a member of the first all-female team to ski to the Magnetic North Pole in a 360-mile polar challenge. Tori holds the record for the longest open sea kayak in UK waters which she set with the Beeline Britain team.

Over the last 20 years, working in collaboration with high profile sponsors, Tori has undertaken some of the world's most extreme endurance challenges, setting many records and achieving what most people would consider impossible. From surviving the death zone on Mount Everest to racing across frozen sea ice in the Arctic, she is not one for a quiet life.

Tori is a sought-after motivational speaker, both onstage and online. She engages audiences around the world with her inspirational talks and enables people to challenge and learn about themselves in her adventure-inspired training sessions.

Tori lives in Wales and combines her outdoor adventuring, speaking career and training work with being a mum.

This is one of Ludlow Assembly Rooms' Talking of Adventure Lecture Series, where incredible people visit the Assembly Rooms to tell us about their incredible feats. Each talk is followed by an audience Q&A — and with outsanding acts of endurance, bravery, skill and perseverence to hear about, there's sure to be questions aplenty.
