Women's Adventure Film Tour 2026
2026-09-12 19:00 - 22:00 | Plas y Brenin – National Outdoor Centre, Plas y Brenin National Outdoor Centre, Capel Curig, Wales, LL24 0ET, United Kingdom
The Women’s Adventure Film Tour is a celebration of the inspiring women around us who are doing extraordinary things in the name of adventure. Every year, our selection of unique films is carefully chosen to show awesome women achieving their personally adventurous goals. Being adventurous doesn’t always have to mean being the fastest, going the highest, or doing the most extreme things. Adventure for most of us is stepping outside our comfort zone and climbing our own personal Everest. The films showcase real stories about women from a variety of cultures and sports around the world.
