Sheffield Adventure Film Festival returns for its 18th year this month, showcasing the best in adventure cinema between 15-16 March 2024. This adrenaline-fuelling film festival is a headline feature of The Festival of the Outdoors, a month-long event celebrating Sheffield’s unique position as ‘The Outdoor City’.
ShAFF invites attendees to dive into a world of thrilling stories and breathtaking cinematography that will take you around the world from the comfort of Sheffield’s impressive cathedral space.

With a key emphasis on representation, ShaFF will be showcasing 32 films over seven sessions including climbing and mountain themed showings, adventure bites (shorts) and Sheffield-made films. With various ticket options catering to different interests and age groups available, everyone will be able to find their perfect adventure on the big screen.
Although there will not be any official winners from industry judges this year, the public are being encouraged to vote for the ‘People’s Choice’ Award.
Alongside the seven film sessions comprising the best handpicked films from the last year, attendees can mingle with adventure sports athletes and filmmakers, attend a range of insightful talks, experience live choral music, and explore a range of exhibitions from sponsors such as Patagonia and Rab.

Elsewhere, the Sheffield Clothing Repair stall will also offer a great opportunity to cheaply fix outdoor equipment with an emphasis on sustainability and is always a hit with the many attendees.
Festival Organiser Mathew Heason told Exposed: “ShAFF has run a number of events in Sheffield Cathedral and we’re very excited to move the festival there this year. The Cathedral is a unique space with an outstanding immersive atmosphere, and we can’t wait for the public to join us for the 19th edition of the festival.”
