The Rathlin Sound Maritime Festival returned for 2022 with an exciting 10-day celebration of maritime history, culture, music and food.

Running from 27 May to 5 June, the communities of Rathlin Island and Ballycastle played host to national and international visitors.

The annual festival is about inspiring a passion for the sea, as well as celebrating local culture, and brings together a rich mix of activities and events both on the sea and on land.
