Simon Reeve Wraps Epic Theatre Tour and Headlines Adventure Travel Events in 2026
The Globe-Trotting Storyteller’s Milestone Year
Simon Reeve, Britain’s most adventurous TV presenter and bestselling author, is marking a significant milestone in 2026 as he brings his wildly successful theatre tour to a close while continuing to inspire audiences through major travel events. The adventurer has travelled to more than 130 countries making multiple award-winning TV series exploring and explaining the world, and his influence on adventure travel remains as strong as ever.
Final Theatre Tour Dates Through May 2026
Reeve’s ongoing ‘To the Ends of the Earth’ theatre tour has just added final dates and now runs into May 2026. Consistently sold-out over more than 100 shows, it has been extended four times and is now due to finish in 2026. The format blends behind-the-scenes stories from filming, high-impact photography, and candid reflections on risk, resilience, and the people met along the way, with the production having evolved into a polished, two-hour evening that still leaves room for ad-lib moments and audience Q&A.
Headlining the Adventure Travel Show
Fresh from his theatre commitments, Reeve is headlining the main stage at the Adventure Travel Show as adventurer, TV presenter and bestselling author, alongside a back-to-back agenda of explorers and speakers from around the world each with their own fascinating stories to tell. The Adventure Travel Show, the UK’s event for off-beaten-track travel since the 1990s, returned to Islington’s Business Design Centre on 10-11th January for a weekend of travel specialists and inspiring speakers from around the globe.
What This Means for Adventure Travel Enthusiasts
Reeve’s combination of television repeats, live tour performances, and headline appearances at major travel events demonstrates his enduring appeal and commitment to inspiring others to explore the world responsibly. A flagship wilderness project remains on the docket, trailing Reeve into some of Earth’s least disturbed regions, with the production focus being twofold: celebrating vast, biodiverse spaces and probing the pressures that could tip them—illegal logging, resource scrambles, climate shocks. For fans and adventure travel enthusiasts alike, 2026 represents both a farewell to an iconic live tour and a promise of continued storytelling that connects audiences with the planet’s most compelling stories and urgent environmental challenges.
