HUNDREDS of people were transported into the world of CS Lewis when the Llanwrtyd and District Heritage and Arts Centre was transformed into the forests of Narnia over the first weekend in December.

Surrounded by the White Witch in her chariot, drawn by ferocious looking polar bears, as well as Mr Tumnus and the noble Aslan, visitors enjoyed a glass of sherry and mince pie while children took part in activities which included making paper lions and lamppost bookmarks, and became the White Witch and Aslan through the wonders of face painting.

The transformation was the work of the centre’s volunteers who, in addition to the characters designed and painted by local resident Chris Brookes, made and displayed over 100 snowflakes. The trees were donated by local forestry management company Pryor & Rickett Silviculture.
