Event information

NOW BACK FOR ITS SECOND YEAR - BIGGER AND BETTER!

Join Portsmouth writers and artists to celebrate the arrival of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in Portsmouth in late June 1882.

An all-star line-up of authors and performers will read stories, sing, perform sketches, show film and demonstrate Victorian shooting skills in a programme specially designed to pay homage to this remarkable man.

In Portsmouth, Conan Doyle invented his greatest character, Sherlock Holmes, and became a convinced Spiritualist, two of the most important parts of his life.

Tonight we celebrate Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes, Victorian Portsmouth, detective fiction, crime writing and much more.

***NOTE*** YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO DRESS UP.

If you want to get into the spirit of the times, there will be a prize for THE BEST DRESSED VICTORIAN.

And - if you want to partake in Victorian duelling and have your palm read by a mysterious and silly fortune teller, come along to this year's Holmes Fest in Portsmouth.

Light refreshments available.

Doors 7.00pm
Performances begin 7.30pm.

LOOK OUT FOR OTHER HOLMES FEST EVENTS: This year, as well as this evening of stories, performance and fun, look out for the evening of Victorian Music Hall with Hudson and Lestrade, performances by local writers, and talks.
