Screening of six new adventure short films from the Banff Mountain Film Festival, including deep powder skiing, adaptive mountain biking and an Arctic expedition.
The Banff Mountain Film Festival comes to the Royal Hall on Wednesday 25 November, with the screening starting at 7:30pm. It's the Blue Film Programme this time around, a selection of six brand-new adventure shorts that cover a fair bit of ground: deep powder skiing, adaptive mountain biking, and an expedition into the Arctic Circle. The films are made by some of the world's top adventure filmmakers and thrill-seekers, and the night finishes with free prize giveaways.
Banff describes itself as part of the world's most prestigious mountain festival, and its Harrogate stop is split across two programmes, each with a different selection of films. The Red Film Programme ran back in February, and this Blue one follows in November, with a two-show discount for anyone who catches both. If you're only doing one, the Blue programme is the one to look out for this autumn.
The venue is the Royal Hall on Ripon Road, a Grade II* listed Edwardian performance hall on the outskirts of Harrogate town centre. It's over 100 years old and holds 950 seats; it re-opened in 2008 after an eight-million-pound restoration, and was opened by then-Prince Charles. It's a proper old theatre, so it's a good spot for a big screen night.

Tickets run from £17 to £38, with the top price for a box seating two. The screening is for ages 12 and over, and under-16s need to be accompanied by an adult. One practical thing to keep in mind: the venue takes card and contactless payments only, so don't bother bringing cash.
