Following on from the success of Walk Wednesdays we will now be introducing bi-weekly evening walks on the Connswater Greenway in November and December.
Our experienced walk leaders Colin and Davy will greet you from the meeting point at EastSide Visitor Centre at 6.30pm. For one hour they will guide you along well lit Connswater Community Greenway paths and parks.
These walking groups provide a great opportunity to get out and explore the Greenway whilst meeting your neighbours.
Due to essential maintenance works at C.S. Lewis Square, this section of the Connswater Community Greenway will be closed from 8am on Thursday 25th October for up to 48 hours.
There will be no access to C.S. Lewis Square during this time and diversions will be in place.
If you plan to use the Comber Greenway at this section a diversion will be in place from the Holywood Arches along the Newtownards Road. You can re-join the Connswater Community and Comber Greenways at Connswater Street.
The 6th annual C.S. Lewis Festival will take place from 3-7 November across Belfast.
With more than 70 events, this will be the biggest C.S. Lewis Festival yet. Curated by well-known and respected NI author Jan Carson, the festival theme, ‘Of this and Other Worlds’, taken from the C.S. Lewis essay collection of the same name, features walks, talks and debates, film screenings, faith and wellbeing events, family fun, visual arts, literature, workshops, performances and innovative events showcasing the genres of fantasy, science fiction and magic realism
