Agatha Christie Festival

2009 will see a welcome return for the fifth annual Agatha Christie Week. Coinciding with the birthday of Mrs Christie, the week, co-ordinated by the Torbay Cultural partnership, will run from 13th - 19th September 2009.

The week will be part of a nation-wide celebration of the life and works of the most published novelist of all time.

Torquay is the birthplace of the undisputed "Queen of Crime" and the festival grows bigger each year. Expect to hear talks of the famous crime writer, street performances, creative writing workshops and screenings of Agatha Christie classics on film.
