The 1920s Costumed Promenade

Our first 1920s Costumed Promenade at last year's Festival proved so popular that we repeated it for our Spring Gathering in April. It is now becoming a 'must do' event as part of the whole Agatha Christie Festival experience.
Kick off the final day of the Agatha Christie Festival in true golden-age style! Step into your finest 1920s attire - flapper dresses, feathered fascinators, bowler hats, or dust off the most dashing detective get-up you can muster. From Poirot's impeccable moustache to Miss Marple's keen eye, every sleuth and socialite is welcome!
We'll set off from the brand-new Agatha Christie Sculpture on The Strand, wander past the famous Christie bust, and promenade along the scenic Agatha Christie Trail to Princess Pier --- a flat, leisurely half-mile perfect for soaking up the seaside air.
For those continuing the adventure, the stroll to Torre Abbey for the Festival's closing day is just over a mile, with charming cafés and restaurants tempting you along the way.
Entry is free, but please get a ticket, so we have an idea of numbers and can steward the event safely. Registration will open a couple of weeks before the Festival.
