A music and arts centre is inviting local groups, dancers, artists and musicians to use its forecourt over the summer.

The Woolpack Music and Arts Studios, on Bondgate, Otley, has made the large area at the front of the former pub available to others since it opened two years ago.

But the response has been poor, so Richard Sabey, of The Big Hoo-ha Co – which runs the studios – is renewing the appeal and starting up Forecourt Fun Days to try and encourage groups to use the space.

Richard can be contacted by calling 07956 205151 or sending an e-mail to info@bighooha.co.uk.
