Belvoir Craft and Food Virtual Fair

See the Belvoir Creative Arts Festival page for the latest news.
Press Release 16.05.20
The annual Belvoir Creative Arts Festival Weekend is almost upon us. A major part of this celebration is the Belvoir Craft and Food Fair which usually was the centrepiece of the weekend and occupies most of the Saturday. This year we are hoping to celebrate the same wonders and skills and beauty, but in a slightly different way. It will be online, featuring our stallholders and maybe even seeing some of what they do and how they do it.
As a church we want to celebrate all of this creativity because we believe it is what is described in the early chapters of the Bible as “made in the image of God”. Creativity is the motivation behind creation (however we interpret that) and has historically been at the heart of what it means to be church – take a quick google around your own mind about cathedrals, stained glass, music, art, architecture, writing, crafts… In the week leading up to Pentecost (24-31 May) let’s keep the creative tradition alive and allow the inspiration of others to keep our hopes up and our souls alive.

To note: Each Stallholder will be managing the sale of their own products and they
will arrange delivery. Please contact them directly to make a purchase. Delivery charges may apply. Given the current COVID-19 Lockdown status, in some cases it may suit better to arrange delivery/collection after the Lockdown eases.
Belvoir Church of Ireland (opposite Newtownbreda Tesco on the ring road) is a developing community of faith, embracing a style of worship and discipleship that is creative, involving theatre, writing, art, crafts, food, music, dance… The church through the centuries has often expressed the beauty and wonder of God in its architecture, its words, its art and its music. We are trying to rediscover some of this in a contemporary setting.
