Every September, the English Riviera in Devon becomes a crime scene worth some serious investigation, as we celebrate the birthday of our most famous literary daughter. Each year you can expect a series of events coinciding with her birthday on 15 September.

The International Agatha Christie Festival, funded by Arts Council England, returns to the English Riviera this September.

Working with artists, writers and the extraordinary people and histories of Torbay and South Devon, International Agatha Christie Festival is an arts organisation dedicated both to promoting new stories and connecting to the voices of artists across the world. Inspired from the ingenuity and curiosities of Dame Agatha Christie Mallowan, it celebrates creativity and works to nurture and support artistic innovation, well-being and enjoyment across all ages.

Over 7 days, packed with expert speakers and other features, the International Agatha Christie Festival will celebrate Agatha Christie and her astonishingly rich and diverse legacy. On the packed programme this year you can expect talks, walks, exhibitions, theatre, workshops and several fringe events including a sea swim, a roller dance and a boat trip.

Full details of the festival and fringe events, and how to buy tickets are now available on the festival website.
