Murder on the English Riviera
Written by Julia on 18th February 2010The scene is set for a delightfully devious celebration of crime and thriller writing on the English Riviera, as some of the country’s most scheming criminal minds descend on South Devon’s beautiful bay. Over four days the festival will host talks from eminent authors, murder mystery plays and crime writing workshops, in the birthplace of the greatest selling crime writer of all time, Dame Agatha Christie.
This year’s “Sleuths! English Riviera Festival of Crime and Thriller Writing ” takes place 20 – 24 April with a full programme of events guraranteed to tantalise and tease.
One of the highlights of the week takes place on the Wednesday evening when amateur sleuths will love unravelling the Murder in the Abbey. This murder mystery event begins with welcome drinks and an eerie tour of historic Torre Abbey where a crime is sure to be committed. It’s then over to the nearby Toorak Hotel for dinner in the company of Murder Made to Measure when your team can attempt to finger the fugitive and solve the crime. Whodunnit? Will you be the one to unravel the dastardly plot!
This event in the Torquay calendar is not to be missed at just £35 per person. Call 01803 400400 to reserve your place on the investigation team and enjoy another excellent addition to our holidays in Devon.
That Murder in the Abbey looks well good fun! Cheers for the blog.
Yes Charlie, they’re pretty good. I’ve done one in a hotel on Dartmoor and the setting was perfect for a murder mystery! I might just have to try out this one in Torquay.
