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.
