Kids fun day to be held in Derry's Guildhall

A family fun day will be held in Derry’s Guildhall next month.

The event has been organised by the city’s Mayor Elisha McCallion.

It will take place during the Flavours of the Foyle Seafood Festival on July 25.

From 12pm until 4pm, there will be a range of kids activities in the Guildhall.

Councillor McCallion said she was looking forward to meeting some of the district’s younger citizens.

“One of the best parts of this role is meeting local youngsters and I’m always impressed by the energy, enthusiasm and talent of our young people.

“It’s the perfect opportunity to say thank you for all the warm welcomes I’ve received on my visits to our local schools and community groups.

“This really is a family event as I took the advice of the experts and asked my two boys Daithí and Fiachra to come up with the ultimate fun activity package, so it was a proper family project and they’ve done a brilliant job.

“It’s also a great chance to allow children to explore the beautiful Guildhall, as well as enjoy some fantastic fun activities.”

All the fun is free but there will be the opportunity to contribute to the Mayor’s chosen charity with a special collection on the day for the Alzheimer’s Society.
