The Jane Gregory Bursaries have been created to ensure access to the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival and to develop opportunities for readers and writers of all backgrounds.
The bursaries are centered around our Creative Thursday writing day which has provided the foundations and growth for a range of now successful writers in the genre.
The four bursaries offer a range of opportunities to attend the annual Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival:
1 x Full Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival weekend access | With accommodation
1 x Creative Thursday ticket and 1 x Classic Weekend Rover | Contribution to accommodation of £200
2 x Tickets to attend Creative Thursday, on Thursday 18 July 2024
These bursaries aim to ensure access to the Festival for underrepresented groups, including individuals from ethnically diverse backgrounds, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, or those from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
