Since the arrival of hit TV show Derry Girls, the tourism scene in Derry has adapted to include specialised events for fans of the show, including Derry Girls tours and Derry Girls afternoon tea.
Now a new venture by Wild Atlantic Travel Company hopes to combine the best aspects of Derry tourism, by offering a special Derry Girls Food tour.
The show may have ended but its legacy will live on with the creation of themed tours and food experiences to delight fans.

While fans across the world have travelled to the city to see its sights, particularly the Derry Girls mural, it is the rich history of the region, the LegenDerry food and drink, friendliness of the people and quality of the places to eat and stay that will have visitors coming back for more, explained Odhran Dunne from Visit Derry.
Odhran said: "As the ‘Home of Derry Girls’ the city had a starring role in the series with creator, Lisa McGee herself describing it as 'another character in the show'.
"Our message to visitors is to book a short break to fill the Derry Girls shaped hole in their lives now the final series has ended. Become a Derry Girl by following in the footsteps of Erin, Orla, Michelle, Clare and James with an expert local guide; enjoy the food that features in the show and get a selfie at the famous mural. Come as yourself but leave a Derry Girl."
The new Derry Girls Food Tour offers fans of the show a chance to taste the food from the show and even to make their very own cream horn at Doherty’s Bakery followed by a flaming sambuca at a local bar.
The tour will showcase the humour, personality and character that Derry is famous for, and people will be stuffed to the gills by the end of the tour. The Derry Girls Food tour is available from Wild Atlantic Travel Co Taste the North West from July.
This tour is sure to delight fans of the TV show, giving them a unique experience by immersing themselves in the show in a new way.
Bookings for the tour can be made here.
