Studio 2

Our Senior Youth Group (ages 14–18) had a great evening in Studio 2 from 7–9pm! 🌟

The session gave everyone a chance to catch up with some general chit-chat, relax with friends, and enjoy spending time together in a welcoming space. We also got active with dance and gymnastics, showcasing some fantastic skills, creativity, and teamwork along the way. 💃🤸

It was wonderful to see everyone supporting one another, building confidence, and having fun throughout the evening.

Thank you to everyone who came along – we look forward to seeing you at the next session! 😊

Our 9–13 year olds at St Bridget’s College had a fantastic session from 4:30–6:30pm! 📚🎨🎉

The evening was packed with fun, creativity, and teamwork. The young people designed their own book covers, took part in a Book Scavenger Hunt, tested their knowledge with a General Knowledge Quiz and Guess the Logo challenge, solved riddles, played cards, enjoyed a game of Guess Who? (TIP version), and had great fun playing Red Light, Green Light.

It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved, using their imagination, and supporting one another throughout the session. Lots of laughter, learning, and friendly competition all round!

Well done to everyone who took part – we can't wait for the next session! 🌟

This evening's session was relaxed, social, and youth-led. Young people took part in karaoke, which encouraged confidence, participation, and positive peer interaction. The group also enjoyed celebrity lookalike games, promoting teamwork, communication, and lots of laughter.

Throughout the session, there was time for general conversation and socialising, allowing members to build friendships and strengthen relationships with both peers and staff. Young people also discussed their ideas and plans for the future, sharing aspirations, goals, and interests in a supportive environment.

What a fantastic Junior Youth Start Drop-In today at St Pio Centre! 🎉

Our young people aged 9–13 enjoyed an afternoon full of fun, laughter, and new friendships from 4:30–6:30pm. We kicked things off with introductions and a name game, then got stuck into cards, Scatter Ball, Mafia, the Scream Game, and a lively game of Stuck in the Mud!

It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved, building confidence, and having fun together. We can't wait to see you all again next week for more games, activities, and great memories! 😊

✨ We’re excited to introduce our brand-new bespoke street theatre production, Up The Foyle In A Bubble! ✨

Created by Greater Shantallow Community Arts / Studio 2 Creative Enterprise, this colourful family show has been developed especially for the festival programme, and we’re delighted to be part of the Maritime Festival in partnership with Derry City and Strabane District Council.

Meet Pearl, Coral and Bubbles — three mischievous mermaids who get caught in a storm and find themselves washed up on the banks of the River Foyle! With no way home, they must find their way back to the sea with the help of a friendly Sailor, who shares stories from the river’s past, from the dockers along the quay to Derry’s much-loved whale, D***y Dick.

Expect music, dance, storytelling, colour, fun and plenty of magic as we celebrate the heritage, imagination and unique character of the River Foyle. 🌊🧜‍♀️⚓

📍 Along the Quay
📅 Saturday 27th & Sunday 28th June
🕐 Four performances each day between 1pm and 4pm
⏱️ Approx. 20 minutes per performance

Bring the family along and join us for a joyful celebration of the Foyle, full of magic, mischief and friendship! 💙
