The late author will again be celebrated at the 2026 Agatha Christie Festival, which will attract fans from all over the world to her home territory in Devon, England.
The nine-day celebration in Torquay will also commemorate the 100th anniversary of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and the 50th anniversary of the final Miss Marple novel Sleeping Murder.
The festival will run from September 12-20 and will include a four-day Fringe Festival, featuring events at hidden locations linked to Christie.
Highlights will include a journey on the Dartmouth Steam Railway, a riverboat cruise on the River Dart, and underground screenings at Kents Cavern.
In collaboration with the British Red Cross, the festival will host "What Agatha Did in the Great War" at Torquay Town Hall, celebrating Christie's voluntary work during the war.
“We have worked hard to create one of the biggest and most enjoyable festivals yet," says
Matt Newbury, creative director of the festival.
There were over 8,000 attendees from 30 countries for the 2025 event.
