ATREBATIA, ESCALES IMAGINAIRES

In a few editions, the small festival of Atrebatia has become big! Lovers of science-fiction literature and imaginary cultures, onlookers fond of medieval atmosphere, curious neophytes, come and take a breath of fresh air in the unusual surroundings of the Place des Héros and the Belfry. Celtic flights were on the programme for the 2020 edition, with the illustrator Loïc Canavaggia and the Centre de l'Imaginaire Arthurien as guests of honour. Numerous authors, illustrators and craftsmen also took part, and, wandering between the stalls, orcas, ladies and brave warriors. In Atrebatia, the korrigans are storytellers for children, goblins can wear glasses and beast men spit fire and play beautiful ballads on the square of the belfry. The children also have their own youth lounge at the Hôtel de Guînes, and the role-players, figurinists and escape game enthusiasts conquer the second floor of the belfry. Ladies and beautiful lords, the entrance is free! An event not to be missed in the beautiful city of Atrebates.
