Agatha Christie Festival 2010

2010 will see a welcome return for the sixth annual Agatha Christie Week. Coinciding with the birthday of Agatha Christie, the week, co-ordinated by the Torbay Cultural partnership, will run from 12th - 19th September 2010.

The week is part of a nation-wide celebration of the life and works of the most published novelist of all time and 2010 will see the festival bigger and better than ever before as we celebrate 120 year's since the birth of Agatha Christie.

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.
