Once Upon a Time in Ormeau: Welcome
Once Upon a Time in Ormeau
A Festival of Stories and Lights
Together we decorated the Ballynafeigh area in the lead up to Christmas, celebrating how our community gave hope to each other in 2020.
We transformed our beloved neighbourhood into a Winter Wonderland!

How did you get involved?
Residents of all ages made their own decorations and placed them around Ormeau, at our 6 special light displays.
We created how to guides and offered some festive inspiration.
Some of our volunteers were on hand on the weekends leading up to Christmas to hand out bits and bobs for people to use for their decorations. We also shared resources with schools, care homes and other local partners directly.
Key dates:
Our lantern-making workshop took place online on Saturday 5th December at 3pm. Missed it? You can still watch it here.
On Friday 18th December the elves switched on fairy lights all around the Ormeau.
From Monday 21st December people took their lantern for a walk through the beautifully lit-up enchanted Ormeau streets.
