THE May Bank Holiday is the perfect time to get out and enjoy the long weekend with friends and family in Derry.
Rachel Quigg, Communications & Destination PR Officer, explains why everyone should get out and about this May Bank Holiday:
“With so much choice on offer from arts festivals and walks to family fun days and music events, everyone will find something they really want to go and experience.
“For those with an adventurous side there are a wide range of fun outdoor activities and events to choose from and if you prefer something a little bit more laid back there are lots of places to visit where you can kick back and enjoy some rest and relaxation.”
To help make the most of the May Day Bank Holiday, Tourism Northern Ireland has highlighted a number of fun events which are happening in Derry:
Fun for all the family is on offer at The Jungle NI in Moneymore on May 1 as its popular Family Fun Day takes place, where visitors can buy tokens to exchange for a variety of outdoor activities on offer throughout the day.
During the evenings from April 29-May 1, music lovers should head to the village of Macosquin near Coleraine for the Big Marquee Weekend II.This year’s line-up features a thrilling mix of big name dance, indie, country and Britpop stars, in a purpose-built marquee in the grounds of Mary Pat’s Bar.
IF jazz is your musical style of choice, the City of Derry Jazz & Big Band Festival is a must, with Derry~Londonderry reverberating to the sound of jazz from bars, theatres, shopping centres, restaurants and on the streets around the city from April 28 – May 2.
