A month of food events across Derry and Strabane every February, from chef collaborations and themed dinners to cookery classes and food tours.

Each February, Derry City and Strabane District Council runs Love LegenDerry, a month-long food programme. It includes chef collaborations, themed dinners, hands-on cookery classes, pairings of local produce and drink, food tours and cycles, and tasting menus.

The 2026 programme included an oyster and stout weekend celebrating Lough Foyle native oysters, a beer and cheese long table, urban foraging, a guided food tour of the city's streets, and a seafood supper club on a boat on the Foyle.

Events are booked individually through the Visit Derry website.
