AGATHA CHRISTIE FESTIVAL 2012

Information

Each year, the English Riviera transforms itself into the murder mystery capital of the country, with ladies and gents in their period finery immersing themselves in tea parties, theatre, dinners on steam trains and vintage bus tours. Why? For the annual Agatha Christie Festival in honour of the Queen of Crime, who was born in Torquay in 1890.

The festival is a fabulous occasion for fans from all over the world to congregate and celebrate Dame Agatha Christie’s life and times. Round every corner there is a murder mystery: on steam trains, in spooky country inns, and in rambling seaside pubs. You’ll also find competitions, book launches, exclusive events and even a birthday fireworks display. The official Agatha Christie Theatre Company perform their latest production at the Princess Theatre (2012 is Murder on the Nile) and Poirot is ever on-hand should there be a case or two to solve.
