April 11, 2026, Let the Dance Begin Sculptures

The "Let the Dance Begin" sculptures are an imposing tribute to peace and culture on the border of Lifford and Strabane. These five giant steel figures – musicians and dancers – symbolize the connection between North and South. Locally, they are known as The Tinnies and form an indispensable modern landmark for any cyclist crossing the River Foyle.

Situated on a site adjacent to the Strabane bypass, the 'Let the Dance Begin' sculpture by Maurice Harron is an ensemble of five stainless steel and bronze figures. Commissioned by the former Strabane District Council in collaboration with the Strabane Lifford Development Commission, this artwork symbolises the transition to the new millennium. The statues, standing at an impressive height of approximately 30 foot (10 m) have affectionately been named "The Tinnies" by the locals.

Moor Lough is a beautiful lake situated in the Sperrins Area of Natural Beauty. The lough is fit with public toilets, several beaches, and a segregated paddleboarding area. The fisheries are well stocked with takeable trout making it popular amongst fishermen. It's worth bringing a picnic and spending an afternoon lazing around the river with friends or family.

Popular spot for fishing, the Lough has a great gravel track around the edge. The views are great all the way around.
