Thousands of people from across the north west and beyond flocked to visit the festival, which ran in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
Located in Derry city centre, the Church of Ireland St Columb’s Cathedral was built in the 1630s and is nearing its 400th anniversary. It is one of two cathedrals in the ancient city, with the Catholic St Eugene’s Cathedral also located nearby.
