Sheffield DocFest, the UK’s leading documentary festival, will be taking over the Playhouse between Wed 10 - Mon 15 June as we play host to daily film premieres and events celebrating all things documentary.
From feature films, shorts and television episodes to podcasts and immersive exhibitions, the festival brings the brightest and best in documentary storytelling to our vibrant city each June. Find inspiration and innovation from the world’s biggest broadcasters and pioneering filmmakers, with first-looks from major upcoming docuseries, podcast live events and much more.
Tickets are on sale now for DocFest’s first launch events, including talks with this year’s Guests of Honour Maxine Peake, Miriam Margolyes, Chris Packham, and a morning with the casts of Horrible Histories and Horrible Science which kicks off our new GEN DocFest children and family strand.
