C.S. Lewis Institute presents

Study Tour of C.S. Lewis’s Belfast & Oxford

June 21 - June 29, 2025

 

Here's what previous participants had to say about the tour:

I spent the most glorious week with the C.S. Lewis Institute. It was seriously the best! We spent the first half in Ireland visiting places and learning about Lewis’ childhood. That included visiting the Titanic museum in Belfast and the Giant’s Causeway. Stunning! I loved eating lunch on the rugged north coast of Ireland overlooking the ocean, visiting ancient castles, and hanging out with the new friends who came on the C.S. Lewis study tour with me. We ended the week in Oxford, England where we visited places and studied about Lewis’ adulthood, teaching career, and conversion to Christianity. I grew in my admiration for C.S. Lewis’ humility, intellect and sincere faith. I’m so thankful to the Institute for making such a rich experience possible.

We just wanted to thank you for the best travel and study experience of our lives. Everything was on point – the speakers, the venues, even the weather!

You kept us moving at a decent pace, and you kept us meaningfully engaged at every point. We will never forget the readings at Dunluce Castle, and the sudden realization that we were actually at Cair Paravel!

Purpose:  To explore on-site the land, culture, and faith of C.S. Lewis, a disciple of Jesus Christ, and one of the greatest Christian writers and apologists of the 20th century, with an aim toward personal spiritual growth in the areas of discipleship and apologetics.
