More about Derry Halloween 👻 🎃 👇
This year’s programme is coming down with activities for all ages, from spooky ghost tours, creepy arts and crafts, haunted houses and carnival craic, not to mention an international zombie conference and N. Ireland’s very first attack of the drones!
Central to the programme is the Awakening the Walled City Trail, which this year illuminates the city centre, taking in locations from the Guildhall Square and Shipquay Street to Bishop Street and the Diamond.
Features include fire performance, aerial displays, live music and the haunting ‘King of Bones’ Halloween procession headed by the sinister skeletal frame of Walter DeBurgh, which will weave its way through the darkened streets.
