Any community groups interested in a free, fun, in-character walking tour? We have a few spaces for FREE before it goes out to the booking public. Please get in touch.

Heritage Beyond the Walls: A walk to the Big House with Jim and Bridie
We are looking for local community groups to help us test our Heritage Beyond the Walls walking tour before its public launch.
Join our characters, Jim and Bridie, on an immersive 2-mile walk from the Guild Café (rear of the Guildhall), across the Peace Bridge, and finishing at the Walled Garden in St. Columb's Park House.
This is a fantastic opportunity to experience the tour first, provide feedback, and help us shape it for future visitors.
If your community group, organisation, or club would be interested in taking part in one of our practice tours, we would love to hear from you!
Contact our heritage coordinator Rebecca Brown:

Please share with any groups that might be interested!
