This fantastic bunch from The Hub, St Patrick's Hall Coalisland rocked up for breakfast in Cloisters this morning before doing a tour of the Long Tower church. They are members of Friends 2 Talk and there was plenty of that, before they hit the road!

Wonderful day spent with pilgrims from Newtonabbey, Co Antrim. They were so engaged with story of St Columba and the history of Long Tower and Medieval Derry, as well as Sr Clare Crockett. Sometimes you meet people who teach you far more than you teach them - today was one of those times...their respect and broad-mindedness was an example to me. 🙏

Friday's Culture Night in Aras treated visitors to a slice of home-grown Derry entertainment at its very best! Author and storyteller Peter Heaney had the room enthralled with his tales from the life of St Colm Cille. We welcomed tourists from Australia, Norway, US and Japan, as well as RoI and UK - and a visitor from Bergen shared the story of much loved and celebrated Irish St Sunniva and her connection to Norway. This is Peter Heaney doing what he does best.
