About this event

Thursday 26 March 2026, 6pm

Victorian Britain produced many notorious criminals, but few captured the public imagination or troubled the police quite like Charlie Peace. Active from the 1850s to the late 1870s, he was regarded in his own lifetime as the most prolific and elusive professional criminal in England. Famed for his ingenuity, disguises and false identities, Peace repeatedly evaded capture and frustrated police forces across multiple counties, including Nottinghamshire. 

Real crimes. Real stories. Real evidence.

Join us for the latest instalment of Crime Club on Thursday 26 March, a chance to discover more about infamous crime cases from history. Free drink included!

Tickets £15.50 full price/£14.50 concessions* – Booking essential. 

This event is suitable for over 18's only, proof of I.D. may be required. Please be aware that some of the material covered may be sensitive in nature.
