VIP visit to Greenway - Agatha Christie's holiday home - TopLots
Description
The National Trust owned Greenway – the former holiday home of Agatha Christie, is closed for restoration but you could be one of the first visitors next Spring.
Travel there by ferry from Totnes or Torquay with a welcoming glass of champagne en route. Arrive during normal visiting hours and have a tour, but stay on after the other visitors have gone and take tea in the drawing room where Agatha Christie would read stories to her guests.
At the end of this special visit, you will be taken back to Totnes or Torquay in a 1950s Rolls Royce.
You could extend the experience with a night at the Grand, where Agatha Christie spent her honeymoon – to be organised separately.
Terms & Conditions
Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
The winner is responsible for the arrangement and cost of travel.
The lot will be taken from Spring 2009 on a day and at a time to be arranged between the winner and National Trust.
This lot cannot be publicly resold without the permission of TopLots but can be offered as a gift.
The TopLots Heritage Auction is a fundraising event organised by the Association of Independent Museums (Registered Charity: 1082215) acting as the agent for arts and heritage organisations across the UK. Delivery of this lot, as described, to the winner is the responsibility of National Trust which will receive (after direct transaction and listing costs) 80% of the winning bid. The remaining 20% is retained by the Association of Independent Museums (AIM) to cover the administrative costs of running the TopLots auction.
