A wide range of event are being organised in Derry as part of Culture Night 2016.
Over forty arts and cultural venues including museums, galleries, cathedrals, studios and libraries throughout the city and district will open their doors to the public, free of charge, on September 16 as part of the initiative.
Now in its 11th year, Culture Night has become one the highlights of Derry City and Strabane District Council’s events calendar.
This year’s programme is packed full of dance, music, song, film, art, digital events and a series of talks and tours in some of the most historic cultural buildings of the city and district.
The Mayor, Alderman Hilary McClintock said: “Our Council district is well known for its rich arts and cultural offering. Culture Night provides the perfect opportunity to sample what we actually do have to offer.
“It is not only a great way for people to enjoy culture but also provides a chance to rediscover the city and district and learn something new.
“This year’s programme is even bigger and better than before and we have a few new cultural venues added to the list including Studio 2 in the Shantallow area and NW Cultural Partnership in the Fountain area.”
