Chiltern Kills, 7th October 2023, Gerrards Cross, doors open 9am-11pm, 20 mins from Marylebone
The single most intense one day of crime writing entertainment, with many of the biggest names in UK crime writing & celeb moderators, all joining together with @centrepointuk to help homeless young people.
Tickets £40 (including booking fee) – ALL proceeds to Centrepoint. (Our costs are covered by our generous sponsors & all authors are appearing for free.) Our ticket platform, We Got Tickets, will also donate 20% of your booking fee directly to Centrepoint. If you want to donate even more, you can when you buy your ticket. NB: Your ticket gets you all-day access to both stages, the signing bookshop, the bar, the food court & mingling areas, but each panel event is first-come-first-seated, & NOT everyone will fit into each panel. Both stages will be running panels at the same time, the bookshop will be hosting signings & crime authors will be pulling pints behind the bar – so plenty to enjoy.
Please use public transport. We’re only 20 minutes from Marylebone by train, with free shuttle bus or a short walk from the station. Unmissable.
