After an eternity of wishing and hoping for a festival dedicated to all things witchy, magical and occasionally deliciously mushy, romantasy and fantasy fans across NI finally saw their dreams come true when Belfast, Books & Ballgowns announced plans for an event at the Waterfront this summer. Taking place on June 28 and boasting appearances from 75 authors and 10 vendors from across the globe, the show is the first of its kind on the island of Ireland and the brainchild of the Larne-based creative wizard Nikita Rogers.
Born from an ambition to give Belfast fantasy lovers an event akin to festivals that regularly happen in the States and Europe, she tells us that she’s thrilled to be both the belle of the ball and knight in shining armour for event starved book fans.
