★ 4.7 / 5 — 300+ Google Reviews As seen on Channel 4's Derry Girls

An Independent Marketplace with History

Housed in a former shirt factory — a nod to Derry's famous shirt-making heritage — The Yellow Yard brings together three independent businesses under one roof in the heart of the walled city on Palace Street.

With its bright yellow walls and quirky exterior, it's become a local landmark, even hosting a scene for Channel 4's Derry Girls. Come for a browse and you'll easily lose an afternoon.
