Turnip Fish Theatre Company is working with Otley Bookfest to bring new writing to the spotlight in a FREE event.
Thursday, 26th November kicks off Otley’s inaugural bookfest, a brand new literature event that has been arranged by Otley Common, UPCO, The Bookshop on the Square and the many readers and writers that make up Otley’s literary community.
Otley Bookfest will bring a whole weekend of themed events, discussions and entertainment for literature lovers who want more than readings. Themes and genres to look out for over the weekend include:
Fiction
Landscapes
Young Adult
Mountain Running
Work in Translation
Graphic Novels and Documentary
Authentic Authoring of African Stories
Us at Turnip Fish Theatre Company are thrilled to be launching this brand new festival on 26th November with “Say Summat!” A Scratch Night celebrating never-before-heard pieces of writing from published authors and upcoming writers from Otley and around Yorkshire.
We have a fabulous schedule inclusive of scripts, novels, short stories, poetry and more. From murderous mathmeticians to clock tower ghosts, there’ll certainly be something for everyone to enjoy. Each piece will be read in a relaxed, no-pressure environment and the night will be compered by Jojo Ripley and Daisy Lyons of Turnip Fish Theatre Company.
Join us for Say Summat! Scratch Night. 7pm-10pm at The Otley Common - Thursday 26th November. A free event. Donations welcome.
