Cycle to the Cinema kicks off 2014 programme

Cycle to the Cinema is back for 2014, with the first event taking place on 6^th March, at the Longshaw Estate, Hathersage, where cinema-going cyclists can watch the hauntingly beautiful film, Chasing Ice, with entry costing £6 per adult.

Cycle to the Cinema takes place in locations all over the Peak District and Sheffield, and encourages viewers to cycle to the locations (though you don’t have to).

Cycle to the Cinema is also proud to be part of the Tour De Cinema, presented by Sheffield Doc/Fest, as part of the Yorkshire Festival to celebrate the 100 days preceding the Grand Départ in Leeds on 5th July 2014.

To celebrate, Cycle to the Cinema and Sheffield Adventure Film Festival are hosting the first outdoor screening of the Tour de Cinema as a major strand of the Yorkshire Festival on Saturday 5th April at the Amphitheatre on South Street Park.

There will also be a special screening at Castleton YHA as part of the Peak District Walking Festival and two free screenings at Eccleshall Woods Discovery Centre in association with the mountain bike advocacy group Ride Sheffield to promote their campaign to create a mountain bike trail in Lady Cannings Woods.

Cycle to the Cinema co-founder and ShAFF Festival Director, Matt Heason, said: “Cycling has exploded in popularity. Our pilot series of Cycle to the Cinema screenings in partnership with the National Trust and the University of Derby, Buxton last summer proved a real hit, so we’re delighted to be able to encourage even more people to get out on their bike to enjoy adventure films on the big screen.”

“It’s really exciting to be part of the celebrations in the run up to the Tour de France and to be working with new partners like Sheffield’s DocFest, the Peak District Walking Festival and Ride Sheffield.”
