2026 Inklings Festival (Free Admission Friday & Saturday)
FOR THE STORYTELLER,
THE SCHOLAR, AND
THE CHILD IN EVERYONE
The Inklings Festival is a three-day, family-friendly celebration of the spirit, lessons, and inspirations of The Inklings through local food and drinks, games, live music, and learning.
For an institute that honors thoughtful and prayerful engagement with culture, there are perhaps no better modern examples of this than the literary friends known as The Inklings.C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, and Owen Barfieldcreated imaginative and deeply sacramental works likeThe Chronicles of Narnia andThe Lord of the Rings that are still shaping culture in profound ways, more than half a century after they were written. If we want to further culture the way they continue to do, we have to follow in their footsteps and this means not only learning together, buthaving a lot of fun, too.
We have purposefully made this year's festival as free as possible! If you'd like to make a donation with your Free Admission ticket, you are enabling us to continue offering events like this to as many people as we can.
