Fear not! There’s so many fun things to do with all the family this halloween that won’t break the bank, you can enjoy the halloween festival season in Derry without a worry.
1. Heart of Samhain
Senses are stirred and taste buds tantalised as musical melodies hang in the cold night air. For four nights, Guildhall Square and Waterloo Place will come alive with all manner of creepy ghosts and ghouls feasting on the sights, sounds and tastes of Hallowe’en. Enjoy the market with live music and relaxed seating. Photo: none
2. Awakening the Walled City
Derry Hallowe’en 2022 will unfold across the city, stretching to Donegal and Strabane. The history of Derry will pour out from the city’s iconic buildings unveiling the myths and mischief of Samhain and introducing you to some of our favourite characters from beyond the veil in the City of Bones, Forest of Shadows, The Ancients and The Lost World.

3. Forest of Shadows
Where the veil between this world and the next is thinnest, tread carefully through this corridor of light. Drifting along the banks of the Foyle, nothing is what it seems as you enter the other realm. Welcoming you with dancing flames and hypnotic, mesmerising displays, luring you into the depths of the forest. Beware of disorientating paths lined with shape-shifting creatures and shadows as the forest comes to life! Photo: none
4. Finding a Ghost in the Park
Search for our ghost pictures in the park! The kids can bring the pictures they find to the café and get a free kid’s hot chocolate at St Columb’s House in St Columb’s Park. DER2126GS - 126 Photo: George Sweeney
