2010: The Year the Bearded Aberdonian Reigned Supreme
Finally the dust has settled once again on the pristine flower beds of Harrogate after another fantastically successful Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival.
Huge thanks to all who came along to the events over the four days of the Festival, both the readers and the writers, for helping to make the event the best yet in terms of attendance and atmosphere.
Programme Chair Stuart MacBride put together a great schedule of events, mixing established favourites with fresh blood and new exciting new voices. Under MacBride’s stewardship Festival goers were treated to great new elements – from intensive writing workshops as part of ‘Creative Thursday’ to the enthralling addition of some of the UK’s leading forensic experts sharing the inside story in ‘Murders, Mysteries and Microscopes’ – plus some of the biggest names in the crime writing pantheon as Special Guests: Ian Rankin, Christopher Brookmyre, Val McDermid, Karin Slaughter and Jeffs Deaver and Lindsay.
We’re already looking forward to 2011 but in the meantime click here enjoy some of the photographic highlights from this year…
