Tour director Nell Teasdale said: “The 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 night will feature seven diverse films. They include Dog Power, offering a rare view into the world of dog-powered sports, Four Mums in a Boat, telling the story of a group of women who decided to row across the Atlantic, Max Your Days, encouraging viewers to squeeze adventure into every hour, and Metronomic, set high above the Gorges du Verdon in France, where a skilful blend of artists and high-level balancing athletes play a high-energy symphony devoted to risk.

The evening lasts about two-and-a-half hours, with a free prize giveaway.
