Agatha Christie Festival is delighted to announce the winners of this year’s Young People’s Mystery Story Writing Competition.

The Agatha Christie Festival is joining forces with Libraries Unlimited, Literature Works and Torre Abbey to bring you The Agatha Christie Festival Young People’s Mystery Short Story Writing Competition. Together, we are inviting aspiring young writers aged between 8 and 18 years of age, who live or go to school or college in Devon or Torbay, to write a short story involving a mystery and enter it into our competition to discover the most talented mystery authors of the future. There are great prizes and recognition to be won.

We are delighted to reveal details of our five-day Fringe Festival, which precedes our four-day Literary Festival. The Fringe was created to allow us to programme fun and social events in places right across Agatha Christie Country. They range from free events to a couple of really exclusive events and this year we are really pleased to include some places from Agatha's life in Devon that we have never visited before.

Our friends from Libraries Unlimited are hosting a very special event at Torquay Library to coincide with the unveiling of the brand new Agatha Christie statue on Saturday 12 April.
