The People's Gallery murals tour in Derry

You will be taken on a guided tour of  all twelve murals of The People's Gallery by one of the artists. This 'walkabout' tour lasts about one hour and is certainly one of the most unique political murals tours in the whole of N.Ireland. You can book from the "booking form" link, left.

TALKS take place on the hour, so, if you miss a tour, you can always catch one of the fascinating presentations that take place daily.

Later, you can relax back at the studio and be informed about the city and its turbulent past by film and slide show presented by Tom and Kevin. At the studio too, you can browse around the artwork in the new Gallery, built recently to showcase some of the young art talent in the city. It was opened by Pauline Ross, director and founder of The Playhouse Theatre and SDLP leader Mark Durkan.

The gallery is a vital feature of the studio, a non-profit making enterprise that has been running for several years under the artists' "Encouragement Program" to give young fledgling, local artists a leg up. For many, a tour of these unique murals has been the highlight of their visit to Derry and its history. It is normally followed by a presentation and question-and-answer session....  schedule permitting. At the studio too, you can pick up mementoes and souvenirs to take home... and have them signed by the artists as well.

You can book in a matter of seconds via this website. Or, you can just drop in to make your arrangements

The tour is aimed mainly at groups of five or more but that doesn't mean you cannot join a group that has already booked. It is simply a matter of letting the studio know when you plan to visit. This is easily done via phone, fax, email or the bookings form provided. 

If it is the murals you are interested in, this is the tour to get on as it is the one and only tour of THE PEOPLE'S GALLERY by - The Bogside Artists.

A TOUR of the famous murals of The People's Gallery costs £10 per person  and includes a presentation.

The Presentation which is unique to The Bogside Artists involving rare footage and slides from their own archives costs a modest £5 per person. Admission to gallery and studio is FREE.

 If you wish to get on this tour you are strongly advised to book directly by contacting the studio or by simply filling in the booking form on this site...  or you may find yourself on a different tour entirely... one that may not even include the murals!
