If you’ve seen the incredible Blue Planet series, or indeed any of David Attenborough’s vast collection of documentaries, you’re probably already familiar with Doug Allan’s work though you may not know it.

And so you can only imagine the fascinating stories he’ll have to share at the Atlantic Theatre at SeaFest next weekend in Galway and this is your opportunity to go to one of his talks which are free to attend.
