OTLEY Courthouse is looking forward to next month’s highlights.

The popular venue will welcome stand-up poet, armchair revolutionary and recumbent rocker Elvis McGonagall on November 1.

The poet, a regular guest on BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live Show and compere of the notorious Blue Suede Sporran Club, will perform after a short opening appearance by the Courthouse Writers with James Nash.

Tickets on the door.

A new series of literature-themed events called Northern Lights begins on November 8, with Lifted. The show will feature Jo Bell and Jonny Walsh discussing the moments of joy in everyday life.
