The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour is bringing a night of adrenaline-packed films to venues around the UK and Ireland in 2026, including Stafford Gatehouse Theatre this March.

With extreme climbing, kayaking, mountain biking and more, the Banff Mountain Film Festival features two new collections of inspirational short films from remote corners of the planet.

“Immerse yourself in a night of gripping adventure - up on the big screen!” says tour director Nell Teasdale.

“The Banff Mountain Film Festival showcases the year’s most inspiring stories of adventure, with cutting-edge expeditions, extraordinary human resilience and the enduring magic of wild places.”

The breath-taking documentaries are introduced by a compère, and each screening will see a free prize giveaway to win outdoorsy goodies from the tour’s partners.

The films are chosen from hundreds of entries into the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival, which is held every November in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2025. The UK and Ireland tour is back for its 17th year, and will visit over 50 locations in spring and autumn 2026.

“Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or simply love great storytelling, this year’s films offer something for everyone,” adds Nell.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour visits Stafford Gatehouse Theatre on Wednesday 4 March, tickets on sale now at gatehousetheatre.co.uk.
