Tickets are now on sale for ShAFF; now in it’s sixth year and wildly anchored as the premiere adventure and extreme sports film festival in the UK – we recommend taking a look at screen listings now and booking your seats to avoid any heartache.

Sheffield Adventure Film Festival
March 12-14 - The Showroom Cinema, Sheffield

More adventure, less air miles. This March the Sheffield Adventure
Film Festival will feature 44 action and adventure packed award-
winning films featuring adventure sports and travel from around the
globe. Get yourself to The Showroom (the largest Independent
Cinema outside of London, and voted Best Cultural Venue in the
region) and make just one journey for a round-the-world the trip of a
lifetime. From sea kayaking and free running in the UK to
mountaineering in Papua New Guinea, solo big-wall climbing in
California’s Yosemite Valley and 107m waterfall kayaking in Africa,
you can take in the films in bite sized 2 hour chunks, as many or as
little as you like, all introduced by either the UK’s best ever female
climber Lucy Creamer, or Everest Summiteer and professional
photographer Ian Parnell. Make sure to take in some of the 24
premieres and experience the big screen, big sound and big
audience feel that Youtube and Iphones just can’t offer.

Between stints in front of the screen there’s a whole host of other
stuff to do, most of it for free. Bring the kids along for family friendly screenings. Pick up an urban orienteering map, chill out in the photo exhibition with a good book and some live acoustic music. Drop in to the rucksack sale and pick up some second hand kit bargains, have a free physio consultation, or get involved in the Steep Shot photography shoot-out as pro and amateurs battle it out for a substantial cash prize. Donate blood, enjoy a pint of the specially brewed ShAFF beer (preferably not too close to each other!) or have a go in the open Quiz compeered by none other than Sheffield’s own stand-up comedian, climber and author Niall Grimes.
 
After each of the 5 previous festivals 100% of visitors have said they will come again and bring a friend. That’s a testimonial we aim to repeat this year and long into the future. 
 
Make a weekend of it. Don’t forget that the Peak District is a only a 20 minute train ride away. The festival
website will feature discounted accommodation and travel links so that you can make your visit a straightforward as well as fun experience.
