Torquay Museum will be celebrating Agatha Christie’s birthday in style this year when it opens its doors exclusively for a special Christie Mystery Day, packed with events for fans of the Queen of Crime. Last year's event was a huge success where fans not only enjoyed a wide range of activities but were able to socialise with like-minded people in a friendly, welcoming environment. We're sure that this year it will be equally as popular.

A limited number of early-bird tickets will be available for the day, for £30 each, which includes a buffet lunch. Guests will have exclusive access to rarely seen classic film adaptations of Christie novels, radio plays, fascinating talks by Christie experts, and the day will culminate in a Special Event.

There will also be special Museum tours and access to the Christie Gallery, which includes furniture, props and costumes from ITV Studios’ adaptations of the Poirot stories, some of Christie’s personal effects, and a wealth of information about the world’s best-selling author of all time.

Recently donated Christie memorabilia will also be on show in Torquay Museum, and there will be hundreds of Christie books on sale from the Museum’s shop.

The Christie Mystery Day has been devised by noted Christie expert Dr John Curran and will form part of the official International Agatha Christie Festival.

Time 9am to 5:30pm

Cost £30 including lunch
