The space
Princess Becfola
The Irish romantic inspired by the fairytale “ The Wooing of Becfola” created in our 1860 original Belfast cottage.

“Becfola “ is the rags to riches princess story, by the Queen Victoria park in the Titanic district of Belfast. Becfola has just been completed after 2 1/2 years craftsmanship's work.

“The wooing of Becfola”, is an actual fairytale with a penniless Antrim girl, who becomes the Queen of the kingdom. We follow her love story in a fairy world forest theme with over 18 000 LED lights.

Her story is hand written on the walls throughout the house and gardens.

We follow the story of Becfola with viscous wolves, evil witches, princes, princess, and lots of good and not so good fairies.

From the front door, to the golden four poster beds on the top of the trees, through the real forest tunnel, soak in the witches cauldron and rest in the princess castle where we find the end of our story.


The Becfola theme world is 100% hand painted, hand sculptured, with hand made furniture including a kissing corner in this beautiful Belfast 1860 cottage.

With our ambient sound design our guests will feel they are helping Becfola find the love of her life.

My work: Owner of Emerald isle retreats and David Kinsella productions AS ( Norway )
Speaks English and Norwegian
Business
In 1981 I won the Northern Ireland Press Photographer of the year, at the age of 16. In 1991 I moved to Norway. During my career I have won a total of 58 major international awards for my Documentary work in both photo and film, including 4 times Press Photographer of the year in Norway and 3 times Press Photographer of the year in Ireland. In 2006 David Kinsella directed, filmed and edited his first film Love Letters from a children’s prison. The film was nominated by the American Film Institute for Best feature length film Documentary of the year. I had lived in Norway for 30 years, my mother was then 88 and it was time to return to Belfast and have some quality time with her, at the same time I needed a new creative challenge, a step beyond cinema, make a movie that is real for my audience. How can I turn a Northern Ireland theme, a movie, a book an event in time into a living interactive experience?. The Titanic museum was the biggest tourist attraction in Northern Ireland, so I decided to create a “Holiday worlds”, mini Walt Disney style worlds, but with only Northern Ireland themes. I found the properties in the Titanic region, and started the 2 1/2 year process of hand making and creating my first 3 "worlds" Rose, Becfola and Victoria. As my core movie audience has always been women, I have created what I believe is what the market has never had, a world first, an opportunity for the Audience to come into my creative world and be part of the story, be it Titanic, or a Princess world or live as a Titanic worker in their original houses, all with audio sound design that floats around our dream worlds.
