Kents Cavern Discovery Evenings: Agatha Christie Adventurer

To mark World Book Day on Thursday 6 March, Kents Cavern are hosting a very special evening called Agatha Christie Adventurer.


From a young age growing up in Torquay, Agatha always had an adventurous spirit, sea swimming at Meadfoot, roller skating on Princess Pier and horse riding to Cockington.

In this talk, Matt Newbury, who is the Creative Director of the Agatha Christie Festival, looks at how this bold and daring side to her character continued throughout her life, especially as part of her remarkable international travels. He will also chat about how many of these extraordinary experiences fed into her books and plays, revealing an often-unexpected side to her character.
The setting of Kents Cavern is particularly apt for this fascinating talk, as it features in one of her most famous adventure story, The Man in the Brown Suit.

The event includes welcome refreshments of tea and coffee, followed by a 45-minute talk in the caves. There is then the opportunity to explore the caves on a special themed Agatha Underground tour.

Tickets are just £12 and are available here.
