The festive season officially step up a gear this weekend in Derry when the Christmas Village at Ebrington Square throws open its doors for business, bringing some Christmas cheer to the city from Friday November 28 – December 21.
The Village will provide the ultimate festive fun experience with a whole host of family friendly activities to suit all ages.
As well as energetic activities, the Christmas Village this year will also feature a pop up cinema, the Festive Film Factory, with daily screenings for all ages at 12noon, 2.30pm, 5.00pm and 8.00pm.
And there will be plenty of entertainment for the grown ups with the addition of a Spiegeltent Bar, the perfect place to sit back and soak up the atmosphere with live music every weekend.
Karan Leonard, Festival and Events Manager with Derry City Council, said: “This year’s programme had so much to offer with activities for all ages taking place right across the city.
“The Christmas Village at Ebrington Square is the real highlight of our Festive Time programme, the perfect place for a special family day out – to shop, skate, relax and enjoy the thrills and spills of the Festive Fun Fair.
“The fun continues right across the city with our Festive Frolic events taking place over two weekends in December beginning in the Craft Village, and there will be plenty of musical entertainment, from pantos to Christmas choirs, and of course the Mayor’s own Christmas Concert on December 21.
“I would encourage everyone to check out our full Festive Time programme and select your own seasonal highlights.”
The Christmas Village at Ebrington will open Monday – Thursday from 4.00pm – 10.00pm and Friday – Sunday from noon – 10.00pm.
