Foyle Days firmly anchored in the Calendar

Story added 28 May 2010

Foyle Days

Derry will soon be awash with family fun as the Foyle Days Festival returns on June 12th and 13th.

The festival celebrates all that's good about the wonderful River Foyle and the city's maritime heritage and this year a number of tall ships will berth at Queen's Quay, giving everyone the opportunity to visit these fascinating vessels.

Throughout the weekend a range of activities will be on offer, including a portable diving pool at Queen's Quay where, courtesy of City of Derry Sub Aqua Diving Club, visitors can scuba dive in a safe environment.

Festival favourites, the Foyle Paddlers, will offer supervised canoeing and Just Kayak Eco Tours are giving unique tours of the river.

You can also take a historical tour of the Ebrington site in a 1940s bus and hear more about the Peace Bridge due to open by the end of the year. The tour will then continue to the Workhouse Museum, home of the Atlantic Memorial exhibition.
