Graham Norton set for West Cork Literary Festival

Graham Norton is set to return to Cork this summer as part of the West Cork Literary Festival.

The Bandon-born presenter and author is to return to his roots to discuss all things writing with literary fans.

Norton will join comedian, author and star podcaster Maeve Higgins for a special event.

Winner of nine BAFTA awards during his television career, the Cork chat show host has written four novels, which climbed the charts to become instant bestsellers in both the UK and Ireland.

The West Cork Literary Festival takes place each year in Bantry, where Norton and his now husband, Jonathan McLeod held their wedding last year.

The festival will run from July 7 to July 14, and organisers promise a jam-packed line-up. 

The full programme and speaker line-up will be announced next week, while booking opens on Tuesday April 11.

Details will be available on westcorkliteraryfestival.ie.
