About this Event
The Outdoor City x ShAFF x Get Together
Bringing the wild outdoors into the heart of The Outdoor City, Sheffield Adventure Film Festival (ShAFF) is a headline event of the Festival of the Outdoors. Get Together festival began in 2021 championing independent and upcoming music, and was part of the Summer in the Outdoor City programme. They have just released their date for this year’s bigger and better festival in May.
ShAFF is teaming up with both these fantastic organisations to create two extra special events to get everyone in the mood for the outdoors, with some cultural stimulation too – all in the setting of two of Sheffield’s most iconic venues.
Sheffield made… meet the makers in the Winter Garden
