"It's fantastic to be back with our biggest tour yet – a reflection of the enormous appetite for adventure that UK and Irish audiences have," says Tour Director Nell Teasdale.

"The Banff Tour is more than a series of exhilarating film nights. Each screening offers a real sense of community, bringing together people with a wide range of outdoor passions.

"And we guarantee that viewers will leave with new enthusiasm and inspiration for their own adventures too!"

The short films, starring the world's top adventurers on exciting journeys, are selected from hundreds of films entered into the Banff Mountain Film Festival held every year in the Canadian Rockies.

The films are split between two different programmes, each lasting about 2½ hours, with free prize giveaways at each screening. The tour is part of the wider Banff World Tour, which travels the globe each year, visiting nearly 50 countries and reaching more than 400,000 people worldwide.
