Last chance to secure tickets to see Welsh rugby legend, Warren Gatland CBE, speaking about his life and distinguished career in Wales

Rugby legend and former Wales coach, Warren Gatland CBE, will be returning to Wales in November to take part in a four-event speaking tour offering a unique insight into his life and rugby career. Tickets to this unique event are still available, so if you are interested in attending please purchase your tickets now.

Gatland spent over a decade as coach of the Welsh national side between 2007-2019, and won four Six Nations titles, achieving three Grand Slams in the process, and also led the Welsh side to two World Cup semi finals. Gatland has also taken charge of three British & Irish Lions tours, the most recent being the tour of South Africa in 2021. Soon after finishing with Wales, Gatland returned to his native country New Zealand, and is now Director of Rugby for the Gallagher Chiefs. Gatland was awarded a CBE in Queen Elizabeth II’s 2020 Birthday Honours List, and he has also received an honorary fellowship from Cardiff University earlier this year.

Gatland will be talking about his life and distinguished career alongside esteemed journalist and broadcaster, John Paul Davies who will be acting as MC for the four events. Davies worked for many years as host for Sky News and Sky Sports, with a particular focus on Welsh rugby and football.

Speaking about the tour, Gatland said, “I’m really looking forward to coming back to Wales and can’t wait to catch up with lots of old friends. A year out from the World Cup it’s probably the most eagerly anticipated Autumn internationals I can remember.”

Each event will also include an onstage auction, with proceeds going to the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust. The charity was established in 1972, and helps players who have been severely injured whilst playing rugby. Since its inception, the charity has supported hundreds of male and female players, with the ultimate aim of improving their quality of life after severe injuries.
