Travellers looking for the elusive Narnia should hop on a flight to Belfast and seek out clues at the CS Lewis Festival this winter.
Held between December 7th and 10th, the event celebrates the life of one of the most famous children’s authors in the world.
The writer was born in Ballyhackamore in the eastern part of Belfast and spent his early years in the city.
First held to commemorate last year’s film release of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, the festival was so successful that the city council decided to hold it again in 2006.
During the 2005 festival, a number of events appealing to CS Lewis fans of all ages were held, including storytelling, workshops, talks, tours and a lantern parade featuring drummers, puppets, dancers and more.
A similar programme of events is expected for this year’s festival.
