Have you seen the new plans for Parkwood Springs and the old Sheffield ski village? Skyline Sheffield are planning downhill karting in their first phase, alongside food, drink, playgrounds and an “indoor attraction” of some sort too. Ziplines, surfing AND dry ski slopes may follow. What do you think?

We think the plans are potentially very exciting, but alongside our good friends REVIVE SHEFFIELD SKI VILLAGE we’d love to see more firm plans for the return of snow sports to Sheffield – and will be doing our best to make that case. You can see the plans in more details this week:

- At Heist Brew co on Wednesday 9th Sept, between 4 and 7.30pm

- At Shirecliffe Community Centre on Thursday 10th, between 3 and 7pm

The public consultation closes on September 20th, so get your feedback in 🤘

Young people, you're the ones inheriting the worst impacts of the climate crisis. But getting access to straightforward, no-BS climate education is still way harder than it should be.

That’s why our friends at Protect Our Winters UK are generously providing free carbon literacy training for 50 people aged 18-29. You’ll get:��
❄️ Knowledge & clarity about the science behind the climate crisis.
❄️ Confidence to speak about the climate crisis in an open, approachable way.
❄️ Specific actions you can take to make an impact.

This is a huge opportunity to do UN-recognised climate training, whether you’re interested in a climate-focused career or just want to learn more for now. Sign up for one of their training slots online on the Protect Our Winters UK website – or forward this to someone who might be interested. Just go to protectourwinters.uk/changemakers

The Oldest Munro Bagger was People’s Choice winner at ShAFF 2026, scoring an incredible 9.7/10 after 100+ audience votes. It’s one of the most popular films we've ever shown, so don’t miss your chance to see it at Showroom next week:

🎬 Monday 20th July at 11am
🎬 Wednesday 22nd July at 6.30pm��

We’ll be screening it back-to-back with To The Sea, another audience favourite this year. It's a funny, life-affirming short film about two friends floating downriver in Sweden, on their homemade raft. It's a genuine adventure, all the more inspiring for being one you could take on yourself.

Introducing: The Viewfinder!! 🎥🎬

A new series from ShAFF that goes behind-the-scenes with local filmmakers and adventurers, providing an intimate look at their processes, journeys, experiences and, yeah of course, some nerdy film kit chat.

ShAFF is all about celebrating and amplifying local adventure and outdoor films. While our festival is a fantastic platform for showcasing these finished stories, we realised we could do even more to highlight the talent and dedication happening all year-round.

We’ll be taking a look at filmmaking journeys from start to finish, including the highs and lows, the expected and unexpected moments.

To kick things off, we’re thrilled to share an interview with Sheffield filmmaker , whose two films – The Art of Bea-ing and Running To The Start – were screened at this year’s festival. In this article, Jamie shares his experience filming .ben on his audacious challenge of bagging all 95 Peak District Ethels involving 500km of walking and 14,000m of climbing, all in barefoot sandals!

Check it out via the link in our bio and whilst you’re at it, please take a moment to visit Ben’s fundraising page as he continues to beat his original total to raise money for and 🤘

Huge thank you also to .sc for being a great photography buddy on the shoot and capturing the photo of our very own with Jamie 🙏
