An amateur dramatics production group in Spen has had to rehome its November show - after the original venue’s stage was ruled out of bounds.

The Cleckheaton and Spenborough Amateur Operatic & Drama Society were due to perform ‘The Addams Family: A New Musical’ at Cleckheaton Town Hall.

However, due to the venue undergoing repair works, Batley Town Hall has stepped in to ensure the show can still go on.

A spokesperson for the group said: “We do hope our loyal patrons will follow us there when they will enjoy meeting the ‘rather unusual Addams Family’ with Morticia, Gomez and their very strange children, Uncle Fester and their Butler Lurch, lurching in the background.
