CAPITAL CRIME‍ ‍

A CRIME AND THRILLER FESTIVAL WITH A DIFFERENCE
Friday 28 May - Sunday 30 May 2027

Capital Crime is entering an exciting new era. Our 2027 festival will take place from Friday 28 May to Sunday 30 May at our impressive new home, The Brewery, near the Barbican.

This landmark move marks the biggest step yet in Capital Crime’s growth, giving fans even more of what they love: bestselling authors and new voices in the crime fiction community, a stunning new venue with a covered outdoor bar, expanded exhibition spaces, discounted hotel rooms, and what promises to be the largest bookshop at any crime fiction festival in the UK.

With bigger spaces, more experiences, and even more opportunities to meet your favourite authors, Capital Crime 2027 is set to be the festival’s most ambitious and exciting event yet. Early Bird weekend tickets are on sale now, secure yours and be part of the next chapter.

Capital Crime is London’s largest celebration of the crime and thriller genre, welcoming over 2,000 readers to the Capital in a weekend of entertaining and engaging events. With more bestsellers than your bookshelves Capital Crime hosts your favourite authors alongside up and coming new voices on panels, parties and our Fingerprint Awards.
