Agatha Christie Festival - Agatha Christie Mile
The world-famous annual Agatha Christie Festival will once again take place on the stunning English Riviera, South Devon, from 11th-18th September 2011. The festival is growing year by year and we have a spectacular programme of events which will leave you wanting more. Why not take a trip on an original 1940 bus, or a river voyage to Greenway House where you can take a tour of Christies holiday home. With the pristine landscaped gardens and an enviable position on the River Dart it is truly a beautiful place to visit. If visiting Greenway is not enough then why not try more events such as the Murder Mystery Dining Train, a Tea Dance at Oldway Mansion, take part in the Agatha Christie Mystery Shopping, or watch the production of Agatha Christies VERDICT? This festival has something for everyone.

Torbay Carnival
Torquay harbourside bursts into life this summer with the return of Torbay Carnival. Much of the action is concentrated at Paignton Seafront but special events, live music performances and impromptu dances take place throughout the town, prepare to join in! Torquay in the summer means days lazing on the beach and evenings munching on fish and chips, but Torquay during Torbay Carnival means much more. The carnival itself is the main focus of events but supplementary events either side of it means there is plenty to keep you entertained. A literal highlight to proceedings is the carnival fireworks display but perhaps the event you should pay most attention to is the annual waiters and waitresses race. With restaurants in the town full to capacity during the carnival you may be best off dining in the winners establishment - even if you have to wait to be seated you will at least be assured fast service.
