Record ticket sales have been reported for this year

This year's Freedom Festival is being hailed a huge success.

It's thought around 75 thousand people turned up for the four day event - with record numbers of ticket sales.

Many businesses were booming from the increased numbers of people in the city centre - with the family events in Queens Gardens bringing in twenty thousand people.

Councillor Terry Gerraghty says the financial impact will be felt.  For every one pound spent at the festival, the local economy will have benefitted by ten pounds.
