The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, now in its 17th year, will take place across more than 50 locations in the UK and Ireland in during spring and autumn 2026, including three nights in Exeter, Devon.

This year’s line-up of film cover a wide range of experiences, including an extraordinary climbing adventure in Patagonia and an Arctic expedition on Baffin Island, along with personal stories about friendship, family, creativity, and athletic passion.
