The incredible success of the Derry Girls series has been the talk of the town, as the program has met with widespread public approval. This powerful series, also available on Netflix, revisits Derry in the 1990s, against a backdrop of crazy teen stories. A program full of humor and gritty tones, depicting the city of Derry at the time of the Northern Irish conflict.
With Channel 4 already signed up for a new season, one city hotel has come up with the genius idea of offering its guests a themed tour. The idea? Offer customers a unique experience to relive the best moments of the Derry Girls series.
For example, Derry’s Everglade’s Hotel has launched a Derry Girls package, where fans can “become a Derry Girl, eat like a Derry Girl or simply tour the town like a Derry Girl”.
What exactly does it involve? The hotel has thought of everything: starting with a brunch faithful to the series: tea, cream pastries, secret floozy, Tayto chip sandwiches, and the famous Derry sausage roll. A dish reminiscent of afternoon tea sessions with Grandpa Joe from the series!
But that’s not all. The hotel also offers a walking tour of Derry city. Accompanied by a guide, he’ll take you to the city’s most important filming locations. The guide doesn’t hesitate to give a few historical facts about the city, and talk about the series and its most emblematic scenes.
Then there’s a short trip to the town’s famous wall, featuring a giant mural of the Derry Girls cast. A must for fans, who won’t hesitate to take a selfie there as a souvenir!
It’s a great way to discover the city of Derry! Do this only if you’ve seen the first 2 seasons of the program: the tour might make less sense without a bit of binge-watching first!
