OPERATION: ROYALE – Honouring Martin Campbell & Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Casino Royale
The man who introduced two James Bonds... in person.
A one-off, unforgettable event.
Following the recent celebrations marking the 30th anniversary of GoldenEye, and as Casino Royale celebrates its landmark 20th anniversary, there has never been a more fitting moment to celebrate the extraordinary filmmaker responsible for introducing not one, but two James Bonds to the world.
007GB – The British James Bond Fan Club is absolutely delighted to welcome in person at OPERATION: ROYALE, acclaimed director Martin Campbell as the 2026 recipient of a Bond & Beyond Lifetime Achievement Award, recognising his outstanding contribution not only to the James Bond franchise, but to cinema as a whole.
Having successfully reinvented Bond for two generations of audiences with GoldenEye and Casino Royale, Martin occupies a unique place in the history of the series. Few filmmakers have left such an indelible mark on one of cinema’s most enduring franchises, making this a truly special opportunity to celebrate his remarkable career.
Hosted within the luxurious surroundings of Olympic Studios in Barnes, London, OPERATION: ROYALE promises to be one of the most unique and exclusive James Bond events of 2026, with attendance strictly limited.

As part of this incredibly rare opportunity, guests will enjoy an exclusive “In Conversation” event with Martin Campbell, offering unique insight into his career, his approach to filmmaking and his experiences directing both GoldenEye and Casino Royale. Time permitting, the discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A, giving guests the opportunity to ask Martin their own questions before witnessing the presentation of a Bond & Beyond Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his extraordinary achievements.
The event will then continue with Martin introducing a special 20th anniversary screening of Casino Royale in Olympic Studios’ stunning screening room, providing the perfect venue in which to experience Daniel Craig’s unforgettable debut as James Bond on the big screen.
Following the screening, guests will be invited to continue the celebrations with an exclusive Champagne and canapé reception in the Olympic Studios Bar & Bistro. The reception will also include photo and autograph opportunities with our guests and other associated fundraising activities in support of UNICEF.
