Granite Noir, Aberdeen’s crime writing Festival, returns to the city next year with a packed programme of events for crime writing fans of all ages, with legendary detectives, code-breakers, spies, serial killers, perfectly plotted psychological thrillers, darkly comic horror, dramatic theatrical performances and murder mystery movies.
The award-winning festival, now in its eighth year, darkens the doors of venues across the city including Aberdeen Arts Centre, The Anatomy Rooms, the Music Hall and Lemon Tree over six days from 20 - 25 February.
Granite Noir is produced by Aberdeen Performing Arts on behalf of partners Aberdeen City Libraries and Aberdeen City & Aberdeenshire Archives. Sharon Burgess, Chief Executive of Aberdeen Performing Arts, said, “We’re really proud of how this year’s festival is shaping up – we’ve extended the main event to six days, which makes this the longest Granite Noir to date and there’s so much for crime writing fans of all ages to immerse themselves in with author talks, exhibitions, theatrical performances and more, exploring themes including mystery, thrillers and horror. Some of the biggest names in the genre will be joining us alongside a selection of the best up and coming writers for what’s sure to be an unforgettable festival.”
