The Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival is held every July at Harrogate Convention Centre and is one of the UK's leading literary festivals, dedicated entirely to crime fiction. The festival attracts crime writers from across the world alongside thousands of book-loving visitors for a programme of author talks, panel discussions, award ceremonies and evening events across the convention centre and surrounding venues in Harrogate.
The festival's evening events — including the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award ceremony — involve formal dinners and receptions that require furniture and catering equipment. Festival sponsors, publishers and booksellers also run hospitality events and receptions in Harrogate during the week. Expo Hire hires furniture and catering equipment to festival event organisers and sponsors.
Award ceremony dinners require banqueting chairs, round tables, linen, crockery and glassware. Publisher and bookseller receptions typically need poseur tables, bar stools and glassware for standing formats. Both can be supplied as part of a single order.
