Hope Valley Film festival is back for a tenth season

Taking place at Hope Valley College on March 7, the festival will see the best in adventure films, as well as a range of family-friendly activities, all coming to the beautiful Peak District village of Hope.

Matt Heason, festival organiser said: “This is the tenth year of the only film festival to take place in the adventurer’s paradise that is the Peak District national park, and we are going from strength to strength.

“The festival is the perfect day out for families and adventure lovers alike."

Highlights of this year’s festival include an evening meal and event with Nicky Spinks, the British long-distance runner, specialising in fell running, who held the women's records for all three major fell running challenges simultaneously until 2016.

Films being shown include Grant Baldwin’s This Mountain Life, which follows Martina Halik and her 60 year-old mother Tania as they embark on a six-month ski trek through the treacherous coast mountains of British Columbia, Canada.

Other highlights of the festival will include climbing walls and yoga sessions and all money raised at the festival goes to the college.

This year also sees the return of the Hope Valley Adventure Film Competition, open to anyone aged 17 or younger.

Films can be on any form of adventure and entrants are encouraged to let their creativity run wild.

Films must be submitted by February 28, for details visit here.
