Unlock the Walled City
As the chilling winds rise from the sea to greet her, Cailleach Queen of Winter, Goddess of the Cold and winds will lead visitors through Samhain storytelling and the ghost stories that haunt both our World and the World Beyond The Walls.- Prepare yourself to meet Walter de Burgh and his ancestors as they haunt the confines of the Walled City, turning it into their very own ‘City of Bones’. With installations and guises to chill even the coldest of hearts, the spirit of this starved knight will be welcomed by the people of Derry as they embrace Samhain.
- In the forest of shadows… Queen Morrígan will lure you into her lair...But beware… even the trees aren’t what they appear…

- The ancient Red Branch Knights of Ulster (An Croabh Rua) lie sleeping in full battle armour, ready to ride forth at Ireland’s moment of greatest need. Be prepared as they ready themselves to ride forth to Swan Park Buncrana, where you can experience legends, lore, and characters associated with the Red Branch Knights.
- The breathtaking fireworks will return to Derry Hallowe’en 2021! Watch the Samhain skies come alive with colour as this decade~old tradition returns with a bang!
