Starring fearless characters and beautiful cinematography from the world’s best adventure film-makers, the tour is not one to miss.
Tour director, Nell Teasdale, said: “We are so excited to be sharing these awe-inspiring new films with audiences around the UK & Ireland – up on the big screen!

Each event will also feature a free prize draw to give you the chance of winning prizes suited for people who love the outdoors.

‘Dream Mountain’ follows the life of an elite climber who returns to mountain climbing after the birth of her son.
Whilst ‘West Highland Way’ sees former pro rider Rab Wardell cross the 95-mile West Highland Way on his mountain bike.
