Frontier Sapiens Adventure Film Festival

Visiting Waterside for the first time ever, the UK’s largest open-air adventure film festival is heading indoors for a cosy Autumn screening in Sale.

Always an incredibly popular event, the Frontier Sapiens Adventure Film Festival showcases an awe-inspiring line-up of films from some of the world’s best filmmakers. Join us for an evening watching an all-new collection of short films featuring epic adventures, cultural stories and environmental issues from around the world, all introduced by the festival team.

This year, join quadriplegic daredevil Jimmy on his quest to become a champion surfer, journey across the plains of the Maasai Mara to the summit of Mont Blanc, and lots more. The full 2026 film line-up is full of adventure and can be viewed in more detail here.
