Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards to. address show visitors in the talks theatre.
Winter Olympics legend, Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards was the first ever competitor to represent Great Britain in Olympic Ski Jumping. Scared of heights, partially sighted, but fearless nonetheless, Edwards finished last in both the 70m and 90m events, but his lack of success endeared him to people all across the globe. The worse he did, the more popular he became, proving that taking part is what counts. He will go down as a legend in Winter Olympics history, and was chosen as a torchbearer in the relay for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Eddie will be telling of his extraordinary experiences, and is not to be missed!
