Join us at the British Library for our 11th annual conference celebrating the Golden Age of Detective Crime Fiction. If you are a fan of Agatha Christie and her contemporaries,  the Detection Club and the British Library’s Crime Classics series or if you want to discover forgotten authors from the period, the Event will provide:

• an exciting programme of discussions, presentations and panels on the Golden Age of Detective Fiction Writers
• the chance to meet leading experts on classic detective fiction and modern authors whose novels follow in the Golden Age tradition
• the amazing surroundings of our prestigious venue at the British Library.

SOLD OUT All tickets for this year’s conference have now been sold.

However, for those of you who have not secured a ticket, we are opening a Waiting List to allocate any tickets that are returned because the person can no longer attend the conference.

To apply to go on the waiting list for a returned ticket, please use the contact form on the link below. Please give your name, email address for us to get back in touch should tickets become available and specify the number of tickets you wish to take up if any should become available (maximum two tickets per response).

We will contact people on the waiting list on a strictly first come, first served basis. We cannot promise that tickets will become available – they will only be freed up for re-sale if someone who has already booked finds that they cannot now come to the conference.
