Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival
Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival
Welcome to the best crime writing festival in the world! Whether this will be your first visit to the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival or your tenth, we thought we would give you our Top 10 reasons as to why this will be the best event of your year!
1. This is a festival like no other. You won't find appearing guests hiding away in the Green Room. Strike up a conversation with your favourite author out in the PapaKåta tent or meet in the bar for a pint of Theakston Old Peculier!
2. Join us on the Thursday evening for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel Of The Year Award. The six shortlisted authors battle it out for supremacy in one of crime fiction’s most hotly contended and prestigious award. It’s the crime writing fraternity’s equivalent to the Oscars!
3. Are you a budding author? Perhaps you just enjoy indulging in your creative side? Come along to our day-long series of intensive crime fiction writing workshops and take the chance to hone your writing skills with industry professionals and real-life crime experts.
4. Grow your library at home with our on-site WHSmith bookshop, with all appearing authors signing in the tent after each event. Signed books also make great birthday and Christmas present #BrowniePoints!
