‘A new pilot literary festival will premiere at this year’s acclaimed Village Green, held on July 12th in Chalkwell Park. Regularly attracting audiences of over 30 000 the debut of Dragnet will take the form of a literature festival, unlike any other, which celebrates specifically the very best of literary noir crime and mystery and the other artistic enterprises that the genre has inspired.
Dragnet is the concept of writers Cathi Unsworth, Travis Elborough and Syd Moore who developed the idea when they met at Metal’s Shorelines literary festival in October last year. ‘
