AN Ilkley 'warm space' is due to re-open having taken a summer break.

The Thursday Club - held at the Winter Garden - reopens on Thursday, September 5 at 10am.

Anne Hawkesworth said: "I have said that the original concept of the warm space has evolved more into meeting and socialising in order to combat isolation for some. Circumstances have changed in last few weeks however taking into account the removal of extra funding for heating for many.

"There will be newspapers and exchange of magazines.

"For first meeting The Yukes have kindly taken up residence and will be performing popular tunes and leading a singalong. I hope we will have a full balcony and all are welcome - young and old - prams and dogs.

"The Friends of Kings Hall are supporting. And hopefully Tesco."
