Seven-time world snooker champion Ronnie O’Sullivan is heading for Dorset.

IAM Events has announced that one of the most talented and accomplished players in the sport’s history is to be the star attraction at an exclusive event at Lighthouse Poole.

Tickets for the in-depth interview, on Friday January 27, 2023, go on sale today.

Demand is expected to be high.

Often referred to as the greatest snooker player of all time, the 46-year-old has had a fascinating life.

He’s also someone who transcends snooker and sport to have a wide appeal to people from all walks of life.

According to IAM Events: “His down to earth character, natural charisma and undeniable talent draw an ongoing interest in him and his life.

“He is a people’s favourite and credits his fans with keeping him playing.

“Ronnie is, without doubt, one of the most accomplished players in the game of snooker, but this in-depth interview in January will look at the man behind the headlines.

“Presented by TK4 Global, this unique evening is sure to be very popular, especially as a festive gift for anyone who loves snooker, sport, or just truly fascinating characters.”

Ty Temel, pictured left, Founder of IAM Events, said: “We are really stoked that Ronnie is doing this event with us.

“IAM is establishing itself as a real force in the events space.

“We have now delivered events with high-profile stars from sports and entertainment including Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Jason Fox and Floyd Mayweather.

“I know Ronnie is a real character and this event will give everyone something to look forward to in January.”

Melanie Campbell, pictured right, Partner in IAM Events, said: “I grew up watching snooker and, as a fan of Ronnie, I was keen to seize the opportunity to have him for an IAM Event.

“I have spoken to friends that don’t even follow snooker, but show a keen interest when you mention Ronnie, and that is testament to his appeal beyond the sport.

“IAM Events is committed to delivering experiences with headline guests that people really want to see.

“We endeavour to make each IAM Event unique and unforgettable.”
