Peebles Outdoor Film Festival

The Peebles Outdoor Film Festival returns to the Eastgate Theatre with a weekend full of outdoor experiences, award-winning adventure films from around the world and an intriguing trio of headline speakers.

Each day begins with a celebration of the many activities and outdoor experiences that can be enjoyed in and around the Tweed Valley, all led by local guides. Audiences can choose from a range of paddlesports, forest bathing and river swims, tree climbing experiences, guided ecology walks plus various mountain biking adventures. Staff from the Tweed Valley Osprey Project at Glentress Wild Watch will also be on hand to reveal all about the magnificent, fish-eating birds that breed in the Tweed Valley.

Once finished exploring outside during the day, audiences return to the theatre each afternoon to enjoy a dazzling mix of short films that highlight adventures gained and lost in some of the world’s most remarkable locations. Covering climbing, skiing, surfing, open water swimming, mountain biking, trail running, sailing and more, the films capture the challenge, hope, discomfort and sheer exhilaration of time spent in wild places.
