The tea dance will be held in the Creggan Sports Hall, Central Drive, from 2pm to 4pm.

Mayor Boyle said: “I’m delighted to be involved in, and to host, this special tea dance. Indeed, in the wake of recent negative publicity about the area, this event is a great opportunity to celebrate everything that is positive about Creggan and its fantastic community spirit.

“It also represents a great chance to engage with older members of the community and to bring them together at this challenging time.

“From my past experience, I have always found the people of Creggan to be so wonderfully warm and good-hearted – and who also have such a great sense of humour!

“I therefore have no doubts that it will be ‘great craic’– and we’ll see a wonderful turnout for what promises to be a very special event!”

Music at this week’s Mayor’s tea dance in Creggan will be by ‘Legacy’ and refreshments will also be provided.
