3. Teach Scoile na dTaibhsí
Teach Scoile na dTaibhsí or the Haunted Schoolhouse will see one of Derry's oldest - and possibly most haunted - house open to the public for a night of frights.

Some of these old inhabitants might come back for a visit. Explore the old school house between 7-9pm each night on the 26th, 27th, and 29th of October for an experience like no other... Entry is 12+, £5pp and your 20-minute slot must be booked in advance in the following link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/433455837077 Photo: none
