Adventure Series: An Evening with Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards

Join us for an inspirational and humorous journey down memory lane with one of the UK’s most legendary Olympians, Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards.

An entertaining speaker, Eddie shares his journey with characteristic charm and humour. He talks of his willingness to take risks, the importance of pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone and allowing yourself to fail, but also to get back up and try again. He reminds audiences that success isn’t always in the winning but in the trying.

Michael Edwards, better known as Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards, was the first competitor to represent Great Britain in Olympic Ski jumping. Despite not winning in his sport, Eddie’s heroic failures won the hearts and minds of the public.

In the midst of his public glory, he released a book and several songs (including in Finnish). Since then, he has done a synchronised dive with Tom Daley on ITV’s Splash, taught celebrities to ski-jump on The Jump, and danced as Rubber Chicken on The Masked Dancer.

His story was also made into a biographical film Eddie the Eagle in which he was portrayed by Taron Egerton. He remains one of the best loved athletes today.
