Exhibition and tours prove a Titanic success

Some 15,000 people have turned out to see Titanic At Home - the unique exhibition being staged at the City Hall to mark the 90th anniversary of Titanic's departure from Belfast, which happened on Tuesday April 2 1912.

Thousands more also undertook bus, boat and walking tours, visiting many of the places associated with the Titanic story - all of which have been sold out, as have lectures and other events staged to commemorate Titanic - Made In Belfast.

Some tickets still remain for Song Of The Hammers, a dramatic tribute to the workforce of Harland and Wolff, which is being staged at the Group Theatre on Saturday April 6 and Sunday April 7.

Among the artists taking part in the World Ceilidh, which will provide a flavour of the diversity of nationalities on board Titanic, will be Blazin'.

Tickets for both of these events are available from the Belfast Welcome

Centre on Tel: 028 9024 6609.
