Derry Halloween, Ghost Walks in Rostrevor and the Lost Building in Ballycastle

Your Place and Mine

Available for 29 days

Eve Blair takes to the historic Derry Walls to discover how the city is preparing for one of the biggest Halloween celebrations in Europe. We travel to Rostrevor, where a local storyteller shares chilling tales and ghostly legends passed down through generations. In Ballycastle, Helen Mark joins local schoolchildren on an archaeological dig as they uncover the secrets of a mysterious building and the stories hidden beneath the ground. In Portrush, Eve meets surfing champion Andy Hill as excitement builds ahead of the Irish National Surfing Championships. We also catch up with County Down singer-songwriter Brona McVittie, whose new album Supernatural draws inspiration from Irish fairy lore, myth and magic. And in Enniskillen, organisers are preparing to unleash the town's biggest Halloween celebrations yet. Presented by Eve Blair.
