Festivals and Events Manager with Derry & Strabane Council, Jacqueline Whoriskey, said: “There has been so much interest in our programme that all the places were snapped up for our Clipper 70 Experience, with high demand for the tours on the Clipper Race yachts. But with plenty more activities on offer I would advise people to check out the full festival programme for important information on times for all our other events, and to book activities early at www.foylemaritimefestival.com”
