Announcing the new Creative Director of the Agatha Christie Festival

We are delighted to announce we have appointed a new Creative Director of the Agatha Christie Festival. Matt Newbury is no stranger to the festival, having worked on the programming since the early days when it was organised by the English Riviera Tourist Board. Indeed for the 120th anniversary of Agatha Christie’s birth in 2010 he helped devise a treasure hunt that saw 120 ‘Red Herrings’ being hidden across the region with the prize of lunch on the Orient Express for whoever found the most!
