Graham Norton to return to west Cork wedding venue for chat with comedian and author

Beloved Irishman and chat show host Graham Norton is set to return to west Cork for a special chat with a fellow celebrity author.

The Bandon-born presenter and successful author tied the knot with his husband Jonathan McLeod at Bantry House in July last year, Cork Beo reports.

Graham kept his entire wedding hush hush and the 'afters' were held at his home in tiny Ahakista, a small harbour hamlet that he utilises to take a break from life in London.

He has booked a special event - where he will welcome comedian, author and popular podcaster, Cobh's Maeve Higgins - in the town of Bantry this summer for the West Cork Literary Festival (July 7-14).

The event, and full details are still yet to be finalised, however it is understood it will take place at Bantry House and is guaranteed to sell out within an hour or two of tickets being up for grabs online.

The author of four best-selling novels himself, including the most recent, Forever Home, will be one of the top stars at the literary event which has seen thronging crowds and highly-esteemed authors to Bantry in recent years.

The programme of the summer festival and speaker line-up should be made public within a week.

Booking opens on Tuesday, April 11 at midday with those vying for tickets urged to take a look at westcorkliteraryfestival.ie.
