FESTIVAL OF THE OUTDOORS RETURNS TO SHEFFIELD Sheffield is set to showcase the strength and breadth of its outdoor communities once again, when The Festival of the Outdoors returns in March 2020, with another month-long celebration promoting fun, adventure and participation for all. Following its inaugural year in 2019, the city’s outdoor organisations, groups, clubs and businesses are coming together again to offer a unique festival programme of over 100 events, with everything from ‘come-and-try’ taster sessions, demos, rides, runs and urban
paddleboarding to guided walks and conservation. Headline events for the festival include the Rab Climbing Works International Festival, The Magnificent Seven hill climb challenge, The Big Running Weekend and Sheffield Adventure Film Festival. South Yorkshire Orienteers will also help kick-start the festival when they host a national orienteering race out at Burbage on Sunday 1 March. A new addition for 2020 and one of Sheffield’s biggest major events, the Asda Foundation Sheffield Half Marathon has also come on board to become part of the
Festival of the Outdoors this year. Sheffield’s unique cycling event The Magnificent Seven returns for its fifth outing, further cementing itself as one of the toughest cycling challenges in the UK. Taking place Sunday 15 March, the 2020 event features three new climbs at Briers House Lane, Ivy Park Road and Burnt Hill, inviting spectators from the local community and beyond to cheer on the riders. Now in its 15th year, Sheffield Adventure Film Festival (ShAFF) will once again be bringing the wild outdoors into the heart of the city

centre with a three day programme of more than 100 of the latest outdoor adventure films, taking place at the Showroom Cinema 20 – 22 March. The festival is once again presented in association with the British Mountaineering Council, who will launch their Climate Project at this year’s ShAFF, just one of many free festival experiences on offer that go beyond the films. Conservation also continues to be a key theme of the Festival of the Outdoors this year, with a variety of volunteering and muck-in sessions on offer. In addition to the varied
