International Agatha Christie Festival

The International Agatha Christie Festival is an annual literary festival celebrating the life and works of Agatha Christie held in Torquay. The festival typically comprises from seven to eight days of activities, including talks by Christie experts, exhibitions featuring Christie's life, screenings of Christie adaptations, stage performances and special items like quizzes, competitions and murder games. Many events take place at Torre Abbey, which is considered the hub of the festival but events are also conducted at various locations in the Torbay area which have a Christie connection.

The festival is organised by Agatha Christie Festival Ltd, a non-profit charity and assisted by volunteers in the community.
