The annual dance is one of the most eagerly anticipated in Derry’s social calendar.
Reflecting on the afternoon the Mayor of Derry and Strabane Lilian Seenoi Barr reflected: “What a delightful afternoon we had. We danced, laughed, and enjoyed some tea paired with delicious traybakes.
"It was a wonderful opportunity to spread joy and happiness during the festive season, and I loved every moment of it. I’m already counting down the days until the next Tea Dance. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas, and I’ll see you all again soon.”
