| | 2006 Welcome to Theakston's Old Peculier Harrogate Crime Writing Festival |
 | | As the winner, Val received £3,000 and a handmade, oak beer cask at the opening ceremony of the Theakston’s Old Peculier Harrogate Crime Writing Festival presented by sponsor Simon Theakston. |
 | | Val McDermid, our first Programming Chair, insisted Harrogate would be a celebration where authors can meet their readers, and enjoy the cabaret and comedy mixed up with seminars and interviews. |
 | | Exclusively at the Festival’s venue, The Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate, we’re holding a sit down two- course meal with wine for under £20. |
