Apprentice Boys Museum and Exhibition

The new Apprentice Boys Museum and Exhibition in the Memorial Hall is open again for the second year.

Opened last year for the first time, the new exhibition tells the story of the Siege of Derry and the Relief of Derry. It explains the history and background behind the Association and the annual Shutting of the Gates and Relief of Derry celebrations in December and August respectively.

As well as the Exhibition the meeting rooms on the ground floor are also open for the public to view. This is a unique opportunity to view one of the finest collections of Loyal Order meeting rooms anywhere in the United Kingdom.
