Following the announcement that the upcoming third series of Derry Girls will be the last, Hastings Hotels and McComb’s Coach Travel have teamed up to launch a new day trip to give fans of the hit show the chance to walk in the shoes of Michelle, Erin, Clare and Orla.

In addition to the Derry Girls Experience, which will go from Belfast to Derry-Londonderry, due to overwhelming demand for the Line of Duty Experience launched in June, additional capacity has also been added with a second option running from the Europa Hotel. Both tours will run weekly from Saturday 6th November.

Julie Hastings, Marketing Director of Hastings Hotels said: “We’re devastated that the much-loved Derry Girls series is coming to an end. However, we are thrilled to be able to partner up with McComb’s to launch this fabulous new experience and give fans the chance to be a Derry Girl for the day. They will be able to visit some of the most famous filming locations and enjoy afternoon tea that has been inspired by the show and includes sausage roll baps, fresh cream horns, a cone of chips and Tayto cheese and onion sarnies.

In addition to this, we have been blown away by the response to our Line of Duty Experience with over 1,000 people booking it to date. We are excited to be able to double the capacity by launching a new tour from the Europa Hotel and give even more fans of the hit show the chance to follow in the footsteps of their favourite coppers from AC-12.”

The Derry Girls Experience will depart from the Europa Hotel onboard a luxurious McComb’s coach and gives fans the chance to see some of the filming locations with Charlene McCrossan of McCrossan City Tours. Guests will enjoy great banter and craic with lots of interesting facts about the series whilst hearing about life in the Bogside during the troubles from an expert local guide. See the Guildhall, where President Clinton was welcomed to in the early 90s as portrayed in season two and you’ll also have the chance to take a selfie at the famous Derry Girls Mural.

Then it's off to the Everglades where you will enjoy the hotel's famous Derry Girls Afternoon Tea which includes sandwiches, freshly baked scones & breads and a pastry assortment but with a Derry Girls twist – sausage roll baps, fresh cream horns, cone of chips, Tayto cheese and onion sarnies and a cocktail. You’ll also get your very own Michelle, the Derry Girls duck to take home with you. Before departing back to Belfast onboard the McComb's coach. 

The Line of Duty Experience from Europa Hotel starts with tea, coffee and a muffin on arrival before departing on the tour which takes in some of the most recognisable filming locations followed by lunch in the Causerie with a glass of wine or pint of beer. Guests will also receive the Hastings’ Line of Duty duck which has been designed with some of Northern Ireland’s best-known sayings.

The Derry Girls Experience is £65pp and the Line of Duty Experience is £59pp. To book go to www.mccombscoaches.com or call 028 9086 6162.
