Tyne Theatre & Opera House are delighted to bring you an evening with one of the world’s top Rugby Referees – Nigel Owens MBE. As part of a sell-out tour of venues across the UK, Nigel is visiting Newcastle to share numerous tales from on and off the field.

Nigel is one of the most engaging and humorous characters in the game of Rugby Union, gaining an international following of fans and admirers with his charm, wit and indeed fairness.

He is also the only referee to be appointed for three consecutive Heineken Cup finals and forever will be renowned and admired for displaying a dry sense of humour when dealing with players during the heat of battle.

Making this an evening simply not to be missed for any sports fan as he recounts stories from his life and career.

There will also be an opportunity for a live Q&A in the second half of the evening to ask Nigel anything (off the record!)
