Join us for a special celebration of this hugely popular TV series. It was 25 years ago that Ann Cleeves' first Vera Stanhope novel was published. In 2011, the best-selling series was adapted into a brilliant ITV crime drama with Brenda Blethyn in the title role, 54 episodes have been filmed across Northumberland since.
Join Brenda and Ann as they talk about the latest book and final TV adaptation, The Dark Wives, and reminisce over their favourite scenes. They'll be interviewed on stage by TV presenter Steph McGovern and joined by special guests. It's an unmissable chance for fans to bid a fond farewell to a much-loved show and celebrate one of crime fiction's greatest detectives.
Tickets £30 (plus booking fees, and includes a signed copy of The Dark Wives Paperback)
