Derry Girls Mural

The Derry Girls Mural is a must-see when you're visiting the city. The mural was created by a local not-for-profit company, UV Arts, and is located on the side of Badger’s Bar and Restaurant, opposite the Foyleside shopping centre.

Located on Orchard Street, the mural features the popular cast of Derry Girls, a comedy series which follows a group of five secondary school students — Erin Quinn, Orla McCool, Clare Devlin, Michelle Mallon, and James Maguire — navigating adolescence in the early-1990s, amid "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland.

Written by Derry girl, Lisa McGee, the first series was broadcast on Channel 4 in January 2018, followed swiftly by the equally succesful second series in March 2019, and fans are delighted that the third (and final - sob!) series will air on Channel 4 on Tuesday 12th April 2022. 

To celebrate the launch of Series 3, a small temporary change has been made to the mural, this was unveiled on 6th April. 

The show is available on Netflix Worldwide and has won numerous awards, including a BAFTA nomination.
