The weather couldn’t put us off celebrating Christmas in Dove Gardens tonight! Thank you to all the residents for coming out, our talented arts and crafts facilitators, the superb choirs and the staff and volunteers at Dove House Meenan for your hard work, and Free Derry Coffee for keeping us warm!
Oh, and thanks to Mrs Claus and her elves for popping by as well!
This Monday 18th December, Christmas comes early to Dove Gardens!
There will be an evening packed with festive family fun, including gingerbread making, music from choirs, arts & crafts and even a special appearance from Mrs Claus and the elves themselves!
Come on down to Dove Gardens and Dove House Meenan from 6.30pm on Monday to join in the fun!
Once more, the pupils of Nazareth House Primary School and Nursery Unit, Long Tower Primary School, Gaelscoil Éadain Mhóir, Fountain Primary School and Nursery Unit & St Eugene’s Primary School have been working very hard behind the scenes to put on a spectacular carol service this Christmas!
This event is free and open to the public, so come along at 1pm on Monday 18th December to the Guildhall for some beautiful singing!
In association with Bogside and Brandywell Health Forum!
A Streets Alive project funded by Urban Villages.
On Tuesday night, we were lucky enough to encounter the children from Holy Child Primary School and Nursery Unit taking part in the ‘Follow The Star’ event as they followed the Christmas star around the streets of Creggan using the light of their lanterns to guide the way. The children then all gathered at the crib at the front of the school and sang beautiful Christmas Carols as Mary lay baby Jesus in the manger. Well done to all involved.
