Description

Enjoy the thrilling experience of embarking on a first-person journey around Cullen’s Amusements, nestled in Ebrington Square in Derry. Every October/November, the Square transforms into a vibrant hub of excitement, hosting a grand fair that is an integral part of the city’s renowned Halloween festivities. Attracting visitors from across Europe, the fair serves as a gateway to Derry’s captivating Halloween attractions, with the Peace Bridge conveniently connecting the Square to the city centre. This transformation marks a significant departure from the Square’s past as an army barracks that overlooked the city for over a century. Today, it plays a pivotal role in infusing the Square with a festive spirit each year, making it a must-visit destination during the Halloween season.
