Countdown to Venice Noir… Harrogate here we come

We've been working on the international line-up for Venice Noir 2026 for months... and I'm delighted to tell you now it's done. Unfortunately I'm not going to tell you what we have in store. Only that it's even bigger and better than last year, now running across four days, and we've added La Fenice opera house to our venues. If you want to find out the rest come along to the great Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate next weekend here's the chance to be the first to hear — and meet some of the team.
