Chris Packham – TV presenter, wildlife expert, photographer and author – will be talking about his extraordinary life and career at two different Kent venues this weekend.

Chris, who first came to prominence as a presenter on children’s TV programme The Really Wild Show, will tell of close shaves with animals and the often bizarre lengths he has gone to get a picture.

Using his own photographs from around the world, he will also explain the ecologies and behaviours of a range of creatures including leopards, barn owls, cheetahs, pond skaters, polar bears and peregrines.

The show is suitable for ages eight and over, and there will be an opportunity for questions at the end.

Chris Packham will be at Tunbridge Wells’ Assembly Hall Theatre at 7.30pm on Friday, November 8. Tickets £15. Call 01892 530613 He will also be at Margate’s Theatre Royal at 7.30pm on Saturday, November 9. Tickets from £15.50. Call 01843 292795.
