Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival returns
The Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, now in its 15th year, returns to the Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate from the 19-22 July.
Celebrating the very best in crime fiction, the Festival is a firm date in the literary calendar and has achieved international acclaim for the programming, organisation and atmosphere.
With Lee Child at the helm as Programming Chair for 2018, everyone is looking forward to a really exciting programme.
