Torbay Council has launched a consultation about what people would like to see in a restored Pavilion. The historic building was where a young Agatha Miller went on a date with Archie Christie, before he proposed to her.

With this remarkable and tangible connection, we have long been pushing for the building to become the official International Agatha Christie Centre.

Taking place in Torquay on Saturday 11 April, the event features an exceptional line-up of speakers, including Val McDermid, Abir Mukherjee, Tom Mead, Kelly Mullen, Antony Johnston, Mark Aldridge, and Gray Robert Brown from the Swinging Christies podcast.

This brand-new adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic is coming to the Princess Theatre in the author's home town of Torquay.

Thank you to all of our 2025 Festival-goers who successfully completed the cryptic crossword and entered our prize draw.
