Former Bradford University student turned poet John Hegley will perform at next month's Grassington Festival.

He will be joined by fellow poet, Wendy Cope, while father and son team, TV presenters Peter and Dan Snow, will be bringing their rousing stories of Battlefield Britain to life.

An Edinburgh Fringe regular, Mr Hegley brings his Uncut Confetti show to festival, which runs over the last two weeks of June.

The show is a performance of verses and drawings from his recent book of the same title, with moods that shift from raucous to reflective.
