A Gameshow is Announced!

Sat 19 Sep 2026 7:30 PM - 10:30 PM Spanish Barn, Torre Abbey, TQ2 5JE

With so many crime and murder mystery experts gathered in Torquay for the Festival, we thought it was time to put their little grey cells to the ultimate test…Join us for our first ever gameshow evening, a night of sharp minds, quick wits and criminally good fun.

We begin with Criminal Masterminds, where brave super-fans will take to the famous black chair to be quizzed on their specialist subject, along with their general knowledge of crime fiction and all things Agatha. Who will walk away with our first ever Criminal Masterminds trophy? I’ve started, so I’ll finish…Then the competition continues with a lively panel show hosted by Kemper Donovan, featuring some of our guest experts.

On Team Marple…On Team Poirot…(Team line-ups to be revealed!)

There’ll also be the opportunity for the audience to get involved in a fun game, plus a bar to keep those brain cells lubricated.

Whether you’re a devoted detective fiction fan or simply love a good night out, our main Saturday night event promises to be a highlight of the Festival.

Please note, this is a fund-raising event for the Agatha Christie Festival and all of the panellists are very generously giving their time for free.
