Torquay Pavilion plans Agatha Christie Visitor Centre

Torbay Council is considering the Torquay Pavilion as a site for The Agatha Christie Research and Visitor Centre, following the building's restoration, which is expected to take 12 to 18 months. Discussions have included key stakeholders, including a member of Agatha Christie's family and representatives from national heritage organizations, aiming to honor the author's legacy and showcase her works. The initiative aligns with the recent unveiling of a statue of Christie in Torquay, which signifies the town's connection to the famed writer. Council leader Cllr David Thomas emphasized the importance of celebrating Christie's contributions to literature and the local area. The Pavilion's potential as a cultural landmark is seen as a significant step in this endeavor. Further discussions are ongoing to finalize the Pavilion's future use.
