In 2017, over 30 local national and international authors travelled from across the globe to join us at Morecambe Winters Gardens for 'Morecambe & Vice' - Morecambe's first crime-writing festival! We had author talks, panels, discussions, murder mysteries, signings, bookshop events, writing masterclasses and so much more!

The feedback we got was clear : people wanted more! So we've put our heads together, and we've got some ideas for how to make Morecambe & Vice even better than last year!

But, we need some help. This year we were totally self-funded and look what we managed to do! Our biggest expense was the hire of the exquisite Winter Gardens for the weekend and (despite the chill!) we'd love to host next year's festival there too!

So, we're asking for all the people who enjoyed this year's festival (plus those who are interested in coming next year!) to help us out with the hire of the Winter Gardens for our 2018 festival!

Some of the fantastic reviews we got from Morecambe & Vice :

Any donation you can give will be greatly appreciated and all the proceeds will go towards making Morecambe & Vice even better than 2017!
