Saturday Site Pass

On Sale: Monday 2 June 2025 at 10.00am.

Want to soak up the atmosphere of the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival this summer? A Festival Site Pass is your key to the heart of the action at the Old Swan Hotel.

Wander the Festival grounds, browse the bustling bookshop, get your favourite books signed and enjoy a drink at the legendary bar – all while mingling with fellow crime fans, authors and readers. It’s a fantastic way to be part of the Festival’s unique camaraderie and community, even if you’re still deciding which events you might attend.

Please note:

• A Site Pass does not grant access to the main programmed events.
• If you’ve booked a ticket for an event on the main programme, you automatically receive a Site Pass for that day – no need to purchase one separately.
