Home of Derry Girls

Four years after crashing on to our screens with memorable lines such as "I don't want to be an individual on my own", Derry Girls Series 3 returned in 2022 for its third and final series.

The Channel 4 TV sitcom that became an unexpected global hit after airing on Netflix (and referenced on The Simpsons Dairy Girls ice-cream parlour!) is a rip-roaring, award-winning, BAFTA nominated comedy.

Written by Derry’s very own Lisa McGee and starring Derry Girls cast members from the city, the show is set in 1990’s Derry and follows four teenage girls and one "wee English fella" as they navigate their teenage years amidst the backdrop of the Troubles.

Derry has a starring role in the show. The historic 400-year-old city walls, Bogside area and iconic landmarks such as The Guildhall and city's churches are used as a backdrop. While a lot has changed in Derry since the 1990s, the humour and warm welcome shining through in Derry Girls remains the same. Why not come and visit the place that inspired this award-winning TV show?

The Derry Girls Experience now open in the Tower Museum!

Visit the home of Derry Girls and discover where it all began! See original memorabilia from the hit show, like Erin’s diary, Aunt Sarah’s famous pyjamas and Ma Mary’s Woolworths sweater, not to mention the infamous Spice Girls costumes! Step into the set of the Quinn’s household and feel like one of the family. Sister Michael fan? Don’t miss your chance to sit on her chair and roll your eyes at anyone who crosses your path.
