UPCOMING EVENTS
An Evening with Rob Cowen
August 14th 2025
7pm -8:30pm
Join us for an evening with best-selling author Rob Cowen to chat about his latest release 'The North Road'. In this genre-defying and profoundly personal book, Cowen follows this ghost road from beginning to end on a journey through history, place, people and time. Weaving his own histories and memories with the layered landscapes he moves through, this is the story of an age, of coming to terms with time past and time passing, and the roads that lead us to where we find ourselves.
Rob Cowen is an award-winning writer, hailed as one of the UK's most original voices on nature, place and people.

About The Devil's Smile
October, 1995. Adrian Brown's second year at Leeds University is a blur of throbbing bass line and neon-lit nights out. However, a violent encounter with a man he met in a basement club has the power to sober him up.
Sheila Hargreaves, who has grown fond of Adrian following their brush with the infamous Lollipop Man, has written a book about the murders and is busy with a new TV show, Yorkshire CrimeTime. And then her erratic co-presenter Tony Tranter goes missing, and his body turns up riddled with stab wounds. Could his death be linked to recent violent attacks on men?
Moving from dark city corners to the glare of the TV studio lights, Sheila and Adrian find themselves on the trail of another killer.
