From The Strand to the Sea in beautiful Torquay
Kick off the Literary Festival in true golden-age style! Step into your finest 1920s attire — flapper dresses, feathered fascinators, bowler hats, or the most dashing detective get-up you can muster. From Poirot’s impeccable moustache to Miss Marple’s tweed suit, every sleuth and socialite is welcome!
We’ll set off from the brand-new Agatha Christie Sculpture on The Strand, wander past the famous Christie bust, and promenade along the scenic Agatha Christie Trail to Princess Pier — a flat, leisurely half-mile perfect for soaking up the seaside air.
For those continuing the adventure, the stroll to Torre Abbey for the Festival’s opening day is just over a mile, with charming cafés and restaurants tempting you along the way.
🎩 When: Thursday 18 September at 10am
