Highlights from the 2025 Awards Event
Written By Barnaby Collis
On 5th June, in a room above a Bloomsbury pub in the heart of London, we gathered for a luminous celebration of literature, adventure, and the extraordinary spirit that defined Tom Grass. With seven finalists in the room, three more joining online, and over 100 friends, supporters, and members of the media in attendance, the evening became a joyful meeting point—connecting old friends with new voices from around the world, all united by the power of storytelling.

The Tom Grass Spirit of Adventure Literary Prize is a writing prize dedicated to celebrating the spirit of our friend Tom Grass, a multi-talented writer, avid reader, and fearless traveller.
