Derry Girls Mural

About

The Derry Girls Mural was created by a local not-for-profit company, UV Arts, and is located on the side of Badger’s Bar and Restaurant, opposite the Foyleside shopping centre.

Located on Orchard Street, the mural features the popular cast of Derry Girls, a BAFTA TV award winning comedy series which follows a group of five secondary school students — Erin Quinn, Orla McCool, Clare Devlin, Michelle Mallon, and James Maguire — navigating adolescence in the early-1990s, amid "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland.

Written by Derry girl, Lisa McGee, the first series was broadcast on Channel 4 in January 2018, followed swiftly by the equally succesful second series in March 2019. A third and final series aired in April 2022, followed by a one hour special in May 2022. 

The show is available on Netflix Worldwide and has won numerous awards, including BAFTA TV Awards 2023 for 'Scripted Comedy', 'Female Performance in a Comedy Programme' for Siobhan McSweeney and 'Writer: Comedy' for Lisa McGee.
