Oldham hero Kevin Sinfield is set to hold an interview and Q&A in his hometown as he tells all about his amazing career and fundraising efforts.

The former rugby league star turned fundraiser extraordinaire and coach will be appearing at the On Tour with Kevin Sinfield event at Queen Elizabeth Hall on November 14 this year.

The event will see Sinfield, fondly nicknamed Sir Kev, being interviewed by fellow Oldhamer and former rugby league player turned broadcaster Barrie McDermott for the first part of the evening.

Following an interview, the pair will engage in a Q&A with the audience, which is scheduled to last for one hour and 45 minutes.

The 43-year-old has plenty of stories to tell from his playing days, coaching experiences and his incredible fundraising feats to raise money and awareness for motor neurone disease, which his former teammate and friend Rob Burrow suffers from.

Sir Kev's successful playing career saw him win multiple championships and Challenge Cups, as well as individual accolades, including the Lance Todd Trophy, the Harry Sunderland Trophy and the Golden Boot, which he is one of only five Englishmen to have won.

Despite his amazing career, it has been what he has done since his retirement which has made him a national hero.

Challenges such as 7 Marathons in 7 days in 2020, 101 miles in 24 hours in 2021, 7 Marathons in 7 days 2022 and 7 Marathons in 7 days in December 2023 have seen him raise millions for motor neurone disease.

Tickets for the event can be bought here.

Those looking to buy tickets for the event can choose from three tickets: a VIP ticket (£99.99), a gold ticket (£46) or a silver ticket (£28.50).

A VIP ticket will see guests attend a 45-minute meet and greet with Sinfield and McDermott before the interview along with champagne and canapes, front row seats, a signed paperback copy of Sinfield's book The Extra Mile and personal printed picture of themselves with Sinfield.

Those with a gold ticket will get a signed book and personal picture along with the entertainment, while silver ticket holders will have access to the night's entertainment.

The evening will be hosted by both McDermott and Pete Emmett, an events host and comedian.
