Tickets have gone on sale for one of Britain’s biggest film festivals featuring adventure, travel and adrenaline sports.

More than 70 movies will be screened during the Sheffield Adventure Film Festival, and speakers lined up include Simon Yates, the famous wielder of the knife in Touching the Void, who will launch his new book, The Wild Within.

ShAFF is now in its seventh year, and has established itself as a major draw in the adventure film calendar, with movies covering climbing, kayaking, biking, running, skiing and boarding and just general adventure mayhem.

There will also be a series of expert nights on running, climbing and cycling during which top proponents of the three disciplines will share their experience and knowledge.

The festival takes place at the Showroom cinema in central Sheffield, South Yorkshire, from 9 to 11 March. The first expert evening will be on 9 February.

Full details of the programme, ticket prices and dates are on the ShAFF website.
