Agatha Christie Murder Mystery

Day 1

Morning collection from your local pick-up point, we head to Knaresborough for some free time. Take a stroll along the Knaresborough viaduct across the River Nidd or have a look at the ruins of Knaresborough Castle. After lunch, we make the short journey to Harrogate and check into the hotel. Enjoy a relaxing atmosphere and lovely garden views at Swan Lounge, located at the heart of the hotel or explore the surrounding areas. The remainder of the day is at your leisure.

Day 2

Enjoy a hearty breakfast in the hotel. Today, you can either explore Harrogate at your own pace or rejoin our coach. We take an excursion to Pateley Bridge, with numerous quaint local shops and tea rooms which are most welcoming to visitors. No visit to Pateley would be complete without a stop off at England’s Oldest Sweet Shop to stock up on your favourite traditional sweets from childhood. We later journey on to Ilkley, this pretty, traditional spa town offers fine cafes, magnificent countryside and a rock climbers’ paradise with the famous Cow and Calf Rocks sitting proudly above the town, on the rolling Yorkshire moors. After returning to the hotel, relax and refresh before joining us in the restaurant for another delicious evening meal and our ‘Agatha Christie’ murder mystery night!
‘It’s 1926. Stanley Baldwin is Prime Minister and Agatha Christie has disappeared. Would-be writer Agatha Collins has booked a stay in the Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate to finish her first crime novel, but the staff are all convinced she is the other Agatha and one of the hotel guests is about to meet a murky end! This murder has been committed by the book…Agatha Collin’s book. But how has her fictional murder plot come to life?’
