September marks 135 years since Agatha Christie, the Queen of Crime was born. Inspiring millions with her beloved mysteries and iconic characters, her books and her legacy continues to

inspire today.

To celebrate, there's lots taking place at Greenway, her former holiday home, now cared for by the National Trust.

From exploring first editions of her novels to taking part in literary themed activities, visitors can follow in the famous author’s footsteps this autumn.

There is a Literacy Weekend on September 6 and 7.

Explore the woodland garden to find the new Book Nook, a pop-up library with a range of books and blankets to borrow during your visit.

There's a story maker trail for families and a poetry

board, perfect for trying out rhymes or haikus. In the house, be a part of the never-ending Greenway story and help us create the next chapter on an old typewriter.

Free event (normal admissions apply). Booking not required.*
