NAV4: Askham Mountain Film Festival
Askham Mountain Film Festival will be streaming a selection of films from the excellent London Mountain Film Festival. We'll be selecting films featuring a wide range of mountain and outdoor activities, stories and journeys from people connected to us and the local area. There will be something for everyone from climbing, biking, mountaineering and watersports, and adventures of all types.
To complement the main films being shown in the main hall will be a selection of other films and speakers in the smaller hall, along with some short skills sessions, workshops or Q&A's with filmmakers, guest speakers or simply other local heroes and legends.
Our breakout social area, with free flowing tea and coffee, allows you to meet fellow like minded people. We'll be looking to provide some food options, and a licensed bar for later in the day. Or, alternatively, take an outdoors break, grab some fresh air and enjoy a walk, run or bike ride around the wonderful Askham area.
Make a weekend or overnight trip and enjoy a drink with Campervans - Friday or Saturday Night for just £10 per van.
