The Crime Writers’ Association

Morecambe & Vice Crime Writing Festival

In September 2017, Morecambe & Vice made its sparkling debut at the glorious Morecambe Winter Gardens. Described as a weekend ‘full of warmth, wit and wisdom’, authors, speakers and guests from across the globe flocked to the sunny seaside for a weekend filled with criminal shenanigans.

Now, in 2019 we are back for our third year running! This year the North West’s quirkiest crime-writing festival will be bigger and better than ever before! Keep an eye out on our Facebook page and Twitter stream, as we start to announce authors and panels.

 

Whats new for 2019?

In 2018 we themed our entire festival around the idea of ‘hidden talents’: we had cocktail making, singing and even fire-eating!

This year, the theme for Morecambe & Vice is (rather fittingly!) : ‘Bring Me Sunshine’

We’ll be shining a bright positive light on the world of crime fiction, filling our festival with tales of inspiration, overcoming hardships and that warm fuzzy feeling you get when good things happen!
