Accessibility
As society plans some tentative steps back towards life as we knew it pre-Covid, the Council Festival and Events Team have been working on the best way to deliver Derry Halloween in a way that complies with restrictions like social distancing without compromising the spectacle that has come to be expected as standard, for this international event.
Each Halloween, this ancient walled city is the destination of choice for ghostly beings from the otherworld, as the veil lifts for this annual pilgrimage to Derry Halloween… www.derryhalloween.com
Toilets
Public and Disabled Toilets are located at the Gate House on the opposite side of the illuminated Peace Tree beside Funfair.
