Council confirms dates for large scale events for 2024 at Ebrington
21 December 2023
Derry City and Strabane District Council has outlined details of the conclusion of the Event Space Application Process for Large Scale events at Ebrington.
The Council confirmed that the successful promoters have been communicated with directly, confirming their booking dates and reminding them of their obligations to provide all the required information.
The process was open for a period in November and the Council met earlier this month to consider the applications and have been working with the applicants in relation to the terms and conditions of their applications.
As part of the process several stipulations were set out that included a maximum of five large scale events for 2024 and the requirement for promoters to provide written confirmation of the acts at least six months in advance.
Council is very pleased that as a result of this process, a number of events are planned for the 2024 to include the following: An event over three days in June on the 28, 29 and 30 June, an event in July that will run over two days/possibly three on 26, 27 and 28 July, while during the month of August there are two events planned for 03/04 August and then another event on 23, 24 and 25th August.
The Council will continue to work with The Executive Office over the coming weeks and months to get confirmation of the acts within the six-month period timeframe required and to work with them to help deliver successful events in this hugely important strategic event space.
Council understand that the Executive Office continues to welcome enquiries and bookings for other activity and animation for Ebrington Square throughout the year.
Details of the acts once they are finalised will be made available.
