At Shantallow Community Centre · 38 Drumleck Drive, Derry, Co. Derry BT48 8EN
Shantallow Community Centre hosts “Intense Worship” on Sunday 20 September 2026, a three-hour praise and worship gathering billed as an uplifting, powerful shared worship experience. The event is described by its organisers as a chance to connect and praise together in person, with music and worship-led sessions running through the afternoon. It sits in the same tradition as the gospel and praise events that move around Derry’s community halls and churches, rather than being tied to one congregation’s regular Sunday service. Shantallow Community Centre is a well-used venue on the northern edge of the city for exactly this kind of community-facing event, hosting everything from worship gatherings to family and youth programmes through the year, and its hall gives organisers more capacity than a typical church building. The Sunday afternoon slot, running through to early evening, is aimed at families as well as individual worshippers who might not be free on a weekday evening.
Shantallow is on the northern edge of Derry city, off the Buncrana Road / Racecourse Road corridor, around 3 miles from the city centre. There is parking at the community centre itself, and the area is served by Translink city bus routes running from Foyle Street, making it a reasonably easy trip for anyone travelling from elsewhere in Derry or further afield along the north Donegal road.
