About The C.S. Lewis Summer Institute

Return to the Land That Inspired Lewis

Gather with scholars, artists, and friends in Belfast—the place that refreshed Lewis’s soul.

The C.S. Lewis Foundation is delighted to present the 2025 C.S. Lewis Summer Institute in Belfast, Northern Ireland—for the first time in our 36-year history. Join us this July in the city where C.S. Lewis returned throughout his life to be inspired and refreshed.

This week-long gathering will bring together leading scholars, artists, and fellow seekers to explore our conference theme through compelling lectures, the transforming power of the arts, the joy of worship, and the richness of community.

Designed to enliven the mind, spark the imagination, and deepen faith, the Summer Institute offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the legacy of C.S. Lewis in the land that shaped him. Come ready to be renewed in purpose and hope—alongside friends old and new.
