Ben Youngs

Ben Youngs, the most capped England scrum-half of all time, is coming to the Book Bash — a stone’s throw from where he grew up – to discuss his new book Beyond the Line.

Having recently retired from the professional game at Leicester Tigers, Ben has now moved back to Norfolk. On the eve of the publication of his book, he'll discuss his life and career — the lows as well as the many, many highs. Come and hear this sporting legend tell his story in his own words.

 Ben will be in conversation with Alex Lowe, chief rugby correspondent for The Times. 

This event will run from 7:00pm to 8:00pm with a signing taking place afterwards.
