Once in a Millennium there comes a time when hope and history rhyme, for Derry ~Londonderry that time is now. Winners of the first UK City of Culture 2013, the year that celebrates 400 years of our famous walled city, you’re invited to be part of our incredible story at the most exciting time in our history.

Boasting Ireland’s oldest walls and youngest people, Derry~Londonderry has an attitude to life that sets it apart. For a city bubbling with creativity, energy and fun, it is continuing at a pace on its remarkable transformation journey. With a cascading programme of investment, innovation and world class events over the next few years, the city is already becoming famous for pushing back the boundaries of the creative industries and providing a world class visitor experience.  As one of the most switched-on European cities it has recently invested over €30million in digital connectivity, £60million in research and development, £13million in infrastructure, £25million in cultural tourism and public realm and has over 40 acres of prime riverside sites ready for development.

2013 is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the city to invite the world and showcase its fabulous reservoir of creative talent to the world. The future couldn’t look brighter, so why not enjoy one of Europe’s great city experiences, on the doorstep of a stunning beautiful natural world.
