A HIGH-octane film festival will be heading to different locations in Dorset, including a date at Weymouth Pavilion.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour 2018 features two different collections of brand new adventure films, starring the world’s top explorers on mind-blowing journeys in wild and remote parts of the globe.

The tour, which is the biggest to date, calls at Weymouth Pavilion on Tuesday, April 24.

But before then, next week it will call into Poole’s Lighthouse on Wednesday , February 21 and Thursday, February 22, the Tivoli Theatre on Wednesday, March 7 and Wednesday, April 25 and the Regent on Saturday, February 17 and Tuesday, May 1.

Nell Teasdale, tour director, said: “UK and Irish audiences have a huge passion for adventure, so we’re delighted to be able to share these amazing films and their intrepid characters with wider audiences and even more venues.

“We guarantee the tour will inspire viewers to start planning their own outdoor adventures too!”

The tour’s films are chosen from hundreds of films entered into the prestigious Banff Mountain Film Festival, which takes place every year in the Canadian Rockies.

Each screening brings together outdoor enthusiasts who are into all sorts of outdoor pursuits, and each event will see free prize giveaways take place.

The UK and Ireland tour, which started last month, will visit nearly 60 locations and is part of the wider Banff World Tour, which travels the globe each year, visiting nearly 50 countries and reaching more than 400,000 people worldwide.
