Exploring Life From Every Angle
Life in the Round offers an engaging space to explore the value of life in dialogue with today’s culture and the historic Christian faith.
We host an evening event each term. Sign up to our mailing list to receive information about future events.
C.S. Lewis’s ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ series continue to be treasured by readers and viewers of all ages. This looks set to continue, with the eagerly anticipated 2026 release of the first Netflix Narnia film, directed by Greta Gerwig.
To celebrate 75 years since the publication of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Life in the Round invites you to the Round Church on Monday 3 March at 7:30pm. Through three short reflections from Dr Sharon Jones, Sophie Jones and Daniel Gilman, we will trace the journey of C.S. Lewis’s imagination through the wonders of song, speech and story. We will explore Lewis’s origins in Ireland, aided by performances from Sophia Abraham on the Celtic harp, as well as discussing how he depicts the reconciliation and restoration found in ‘the true myth’, the greatest story of all.
The evening will close with an opportunity for conversation over cheese and wine (and Turkish delight!). The evening is free to attend, and all are welcome.
