Two popular events are coming to The Beehive in Honiton over the next few weeks.

First on the venue's busy schedule is 'The Real Manhunter Live Talk!', an intriguing journey into the career of writer, broadcaster and former murder detective, DCI Colin Sutton.

On Friday, January 26 at 7.30pm, Mr Sutton, a former head of the Metropolitan Police Murder Squad, will discuss everything from unravelling cold cases and pursuing serial killers, to writing books and creating TV shows.

He said: "In the show I will talk you through my career, how policing has changed, what it's like to chase a serial killer and how I made the step from policing to storytelling."

Mr Sutton earned a reputation after retiring from a 30-year police career in 2011, penning books about two of his major investigations that were later turned into the popular ITV drama series ‘Manhunt’, where Martin Clunes played the role of Colin Sutton.

Tickets are available at £16 per person.

A week later, on Friday, February 2 from 10am –to 12pm, The Beehive will host Honiton’s Health + Wellbeing Hub.
