Itinerary

Departing from central Belfast at 9:30am you will visit several locations including Erin’s house, the shop where Gerry had trouble picking up his photos, the interior of Dennis’s wee shop. Then you will head north west out of Belfast to Derry, the spiritual home of the show. Along the way you will have time to watch a couple of episodes and stop off en route at Peggy’s Diner where hopefully  we don’t bump into Emmett the stowaway.

On arrival in Derry you will have a chance to enjoy lunch in the city that was first awarded a UK City of culture status. Departing at 1pm from Derry Tourist Information Centre your Derry girl guide will take you on a 3 hour bus and walking tour of the city where you will:

• See the location used as Dennis’s wee shop
• Walk down the same hilly street the Derry girls take on their way to school
