What to expect from the International Agatha Christie Festival 2024
Agatha loved travelling by rail, saying in her autobiography, "Trains are wonderful... To travel by train is to see nature and human beings, towns and churches and rivers, in fact, to see life."
Why not follow in her footsteps by travelling with GWR along one of the most scenic stretches of our network to get to this year’s destival.
Once you’ve arrived, enjoy a five-day Fringe Festival, with fun events taking place right across the Bay, followed by a four-day Literary Festival in the Spanish Barn at Torre Abbey. Opening this year’s Festival is Lynda La Plante, who will be launching her brand-new memoir, 'Getting Away with Murder: My Unexpected Life on Page, Stage and Screen'.
With walks, talks, music, film, theatre, workshops, cabaret, social events, and garden parties, it would be a crime to miss it.
