Welcome to the Theakstons Old Peculier Big Read 2012!
The Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, Harrogate’s 2012 Big Read title is the masterful mystery On Beulah Height. Come along to one of our special Big Read events to share your thoughts on this haunting crime novel by Reginald Hill.

Thanks to the generous support of publisher Harper Collins, the Festival will be distributing a limited number of free copies of the Big Read book via our partner libraries in Leeds, North Yorkshire, Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Stockton. Reading groups in these areas wishing to take part in the Big Read should email: crime@harrogate-festival.org.uk for more information.
The 2012 Big Read is run in partnership with Harper Collins. With thanks to our partner library services: Leeds Libraries, North Yorkshire County Council Libraries and Information Service, Newcastle Libraries, North Tyneside Libraries, South Tyneside Libraries and Stockton Borough Libraries.
