Join this award-winning walking tour has enthralled thousands of guests from across the world!

After the success of last year’s sold out event, we are returning to Agatha’s mysterious Dartmoor but are making the event an all day one. This gives everyone longer to enjoy and savour the stunning locations visited en route.

Join Moonstone Theatre Company to help them solve a mystery, whilst enjoying a fabulous afternoon tea experience, held in Stage Left.

Tim Benzie, award-winning playwright and the acclaimed creator and host of Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote presents his new one-man show, a funny and engrossing deep dive into the enduring appeal of murder mysteries.

Join us for a Sunday service in the church where Agatha Christie was baptised Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller on Thursday 20th November 1890. Led by Father Peter March, this is always a popular experience for Festival goers, held in such a significant setting which Agatha describes fondly in her autobiography.

This special event offers a rare opportunity to step inside the historic Assembly Rooms at Torquay Town Hall, where Agatha Christie served as a nurse in the Voluntary Aid Detachment for the British Red Cross during the First World War.

Join us for a boat trip around the Bay, passing beaches and locations loved by Agatha or featured in her works. Why not dress in your best detective outfits, as there’s sure to be a mystery to solve along the way. We will also be pointing out locations around the coast with an Agatha Christie link. There will also be period music, a fully stocked lounge bar and some fantastic views on this evening cruise.

For this very special morning, join us for coffee/tea and cake and a chance to see the actual marble font where Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller was baptised on Thursday 20 November 1890.

After last year’s sell-out success, we are delighted to be revisiting this stunning and unique location where Agatha not only stayed but was inspired to write Evil Under the Sun and And Then There Were None. A luxury coach will take you from Torre Abbey to Bigbury-on-Sea, which is the closest mainland location to Burgh Island. It will be low tide this year, so guests can walk across the sands if they are able. A guided tour of the island seeing the places that inspired the locations in Evil Under the Sun will be followed by a sumptuous afternoon tea in the Nettlefold restaurant.

Cult hit event Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote returns to Torquay with an interactive screening of the classic Murder, She Wrote episode “Paint Me a Murder”. Jessica Fletcher visits an artist friend on a remote island hideaway, but soon there’s a murder that only JB (or you!) can solve!

After the success of last year’s Mix and Mingle, we are delighted to bring back this popular, and free, social event which is the perfect chance to meet fellow festival-goers over a drink or two.
