Martin Clunes

Take joy in and celebrate the fascinating, moving and sometimes astonishing ways animals have enriched our lives, in this event with actor Martin Clunes.

Inspired by his own adoption of a former guide dog, Clunes’ book Meetings With Remarkable Animals tells the stories of animals that help humans, from search and rescue dogs and therapy horses to mine-sniffing rats and life-saving dolphins.

Clunes has been a familiar and much-loved face on our television screens since the 1990s. Alongside appearing in hit shows like Men Behaving Badly and Doc Martin, he has presented numerous documentaries from around the world including Lemurs of Madagascar, Islands of the Pacific and A Dog Called Laura.
