We are sorry to inform our customers that ‘Damien Lewis: Who Dares Wins’ on Tuesday 28 April at 7:30pm has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.
“I’m sad to announce that my national tour planned for spring 2026 – Who Dares Wins: The Secret History of the SAS – will need to be postponed until spring 2027. This is due to a recurring medical issue that I have been dealing with for much of this year and continue to manage. In April this year, I contracted sepsis as a result of a botched (minor) surgery, and this has affected me ever since. I have been advised that recovery and convalescence will take some time, hence the decision, taken with great reluctance, to postpone the tour. On a positive note, I am very much looking forward to spring 2027 and should have even more to talk about, with great stories to share. My heartfelt apologies to everyone who has already purchased tickets, and to the venues involved. As you can imagine, this decision has not been taken lightly, but I am, of course, looking forward to the rescheduled events with a vengeance.” – Damien Lewis
