Chris Packham

TV presenter, photographer and conservationist Chris Packham will talk about his life as revealed in his newly published autobiography, Fingers in The Sparkle Jar - a shimmering memoir, unconventional and uncompromising, which brings to life his childhood in the 70s, from his bedroom bursting with fox skulls, birds’ eggs and sweaty jam jars, to his feral adventures.

Fingers in the Sparkle Jar is unexpected but it truly glitters, a boy’s own story unlike any you’ve ever read.

One of the nation's favourite naturalists, Chris is best known for the BAFTA-winning The Really Wild Show and fronting BBC’s Springwatch and Autumnwatch. He is president of the Hawk Conservancy Trust and the Bat Conservation Trust and vice-president of the RSPB.
