Evening with rugby legend Shane Williams coming to Milford Haven
A NIGHT of rugby stories, laughter and behind-the-scenes memories is heading to Milford Haven next month as Welsh rugby icon Shane Williams appears live on stage at the Torch Theatre.
The special event, titled An Evening with Shane Williams, will take place on Saturday (Apr 4) at the Torch Theatre and promises fans a rare chance to hear first-hand stories from one of Wales’ greatest ever rugby players.
Williams, widely regarded as one of the finest wings to play the game, earned legendary status during his career with Wales and the British & Irish Lions. Known for his blistering pace, elusive running and remarkable try-scoring ability, he became a fan favourite across the rugby world and was named World Rugby Player of the Year in 2008.
During the evening, Williams will share stories from his playing career, including memories from international matches, Lions tours and life inside the Welsh dressing room. The event will also include audience interaction and opportunities for fans to hear the untold moments behind some of Welsh rugby’s most memorable matches.
Hosting the evening will be entertainer and comedian Phill Howe, who will provide a stand-up set as well as guiding the conversation with the rugby legend throughout the show.
Organisers say the night is designed to combine humour with sporting nostalgia, giving rugby supporters a relaxed and entertaining evening while hearing from one of Wales’ most celebrated players.
The Torch Theatre has long hosted major live events and touring productions, but appearances by sporting legends are always particularly popular with local audiences in rugby-loving Pembrokeshire.
Doors for the event will open at 6:30pm, with the show beginning at 7:00pm.
Tickets are available from the Torch Theatre box office by calling 01646 695267 or via the theatre’s website.
With Shane Williams still one of the most recognisable and admired figures in Welsh sport, organisers expect strong interest from fans across west Wales hoping to hear stories from a career that helped define a golden era for Welsh rugby.
