Each week, we pick an event to showcase. Today we've chosen an evening with Alun Wyn Jones .

Here's what the organisers have to say about it on our events page:

Join Griffin Books for their first in person event since March 2020 with the one and only Alun Wyn Jones. This will be one of only four speaking events Alun Wyn will be doing to celebrate his new autobiography 'Belonging'.

Belonging is the story about how the boy left Mumbles and returned as the most capped rugby player of all time.

It is the story of what it takes to become a player who is seen by many as one of the greatest Welsh players there has ever been. What it takes to go from sitting, crossed legged on the hall floor at school, watching the 1997 Lions Tour of South Africa to being named the 2021 Lions Captain. But is it also about perthyn - belonging, playing for Wales, working your way through the age-grades and the club matches and regional sides.

From the rain swept pitches of Swansea to making his test debut against Argentina in Patagonia in 2006, from touring with the Lions in 2009, 2013, 2017 and 2021 to losing a parent and building a family, Belonging is the autobiography of one of the most compelling figures in World rugby. Told with unflinching honesty, this is the ultimate story of what it takes and what it means to play for your country: what it means to belong.

This is a rare opportunity to hear Alun speak at length and with candour about his life before rugby and his path to success, and is certainly an event not to be missed!

Monday 27 September

  1. 00pm, doors 6.00pm | Hilton Hotel, Cardiff

Tickets: £20.00 including a SIGNED limited edition copy of Belonging: The Autobiography
