Football legend Paolo Di Canio is set to visit Loddon Valley Leisure Centre.

The former West Ham United player will be sharing stories from his storied career during the event on Saturday, March 29, 2025.

Fans can purchase tickets ranging from Bronze to VIP Plus, with the latter offering prime seating and a meet-and-greet session with the football icon.

VIP Plus and VIP ticket holders will also benefit from table drinks service throughout the evening.

All attendees will have the chance to upgrade their tickets to include a professional photograph with Di Canio, with a 6x8 inch print to take home.

The upgrade costs £25 per person if purchased in advance, rising to £30 on the night, subject to availability.

The evening's schedule includes a photo session for VIP/VIP Plus ticket holders and those who have pre-purchased a photo from 6pm.

Doors will open for all other ticket holders at 6.30pm, with the last entry for all ticket types at 7.30pm.

Paolo Di Canio will take to the stage at 8pm, followed by an intermission at 9pm featuring a live auction of signed memorabilia, a raffle, and a hot fork buffet, for an additional charge.

The event will conclude at 11.30pm.

Throughout the evening, a licensed bar will be available for drinks, and attendees can opt for a hot fork buffet.

Bookings in advance for the buffet cost £12 per person, while on-the-night purchases will be £16, subject to availability.

It is important to note that there will be no personal signings at this event.

However, a memorabilia shop will be available with a selection of signed items from various sporting personalities.

The venue is wheelchair accessible, and seating arrangements can be adjusted for better accessibility.

Carers or personal assistants can apply for an Essential Companion pass, which covers the seating element of the chosen ticket type.

The pass does not cover additional inclusions like photos and other upgrades, but these can be purchased separately.

There is also a sponsorship package available, including a VIP Plus table of ten with the best seats in the house, a welcome drink, and a hot fork buffet for each guest.

The package also includes a photo with Paolo Di Canio and a printed picture by a professional photographer.

The sponsor's company name and logo will be included in all email communications to guests leading up to the event and in the programme.
