An Unforgettable Evening 

Join us at The Old Crown Coaching Inn in Faringdon for an extraordinary evening with Steve Thompson MBE, the renowned hooker from England's 2003 Rugby World Cup-winning team. 

​

During the intimate and inspiring evening, guests can gain insight into Steve’s journey of becoming a world-class athlete, as he shares his experiences and challenges, including his fight against early-onset dementia and efforts to promote safety in the game for generations to come. 

​

Alongside telling his compelling story within our beautiful boutique hotel setting, Steve will also give his thoughts on the Rugby World Cup.

​

To make the evening even more memorable, guests can expect to be treated to an exquisite fine dining experience curated by Head Chef Samuel Squires at The Old Crown. 

​

Not only will you enjoy a decadent six-course dinner, but £10 from each ticket purchased will be donated to HeadOn Foundation, the charity started by Steve. HeadOn supports and helps those living or caring for people with brain injury, early on-set dementia, mental health and other neurological problems.
