Barbering is built on tradition, craftsmanship, and community – and few embody those values quite like Sid Sottung. This January, Captain Fawcett invites barbers from near and far to gather for a truly special occasion: a one-day celebration honouring Sid’s incredible journey, ahead of his return expedition to the United States.
Taking place on Monday 12th January 2026 at Captain Fawcett HQ in King’s Lynn, this in-person and live-streamed online event promises to be a fun evening for all involved. After years of dedication, education, and adventure in the name of gentleman’s grooming, this is a chance to raise a glass, share stories, and celebrate a legacy that has helped shape the industry.
The day will feature a masterful haircut and shave demonstration, offering attendees the opportunity to learn directly from one of barbering’s most respected figures. Education continues with deeper insight into Captain Fawcett’s product range, alongside the official announcement of new educators, marking an important passing of the torch to the next generation.
Guests will also enjoy behind-the-scenes guided tours of Captain Fawcett HQ, seeing where the magic truly happens, along with photographic opportunities and the unveiling of exciting new social media initiatives. Throughout the day, refreshments and good conversation will flow, with donations gratefully accepted for Make-A-Wish, adding a charitable heart to the celebrations.
For those unable to attend in person, a live broadcast will ensure ambassadors across the globe can still be part of the moment.
Relaxed, celebratory, and rooted in camaraderie, this event is more than a farewell – it’s a tribute to barbering culture, shared knowledge, and the bonds that define the craft. A fitting send-off for Sid Sottung, delivered in unmistakable Captain Fawcett style.
