Host a Show
Thanks for your interest in hosting the Brit Rock Film Tour.
Putting on a show is easy all you need is a suitable venue (with seating, projection and sound equipment), you pay a licence fee, promote and sell tickets then get ready to rock the crowd with the amazing line up of Brit Rock films.
Typical venues include climbing walls, outdoor retailers, community halls & theatres as well as mountaineering clubs, fundraising events and students unions. All grass roots locations linked with the outdoor world as well as traditional cinemas.
We'll supply you with the master files/disks to play the films as well as provide stunning high-resolution artwork to help you promote your event.
Local sponsors are a great way to help cover the licence fee as long as they don't clash with our lead sponsors.
Films
BIG WALLS AND BEDTIME STORIES
As part of their year of “education through adventure,” professional climber Leo Houlding shares his favourite place with his favourite people. From home-schooling at 2,000 feet to portaledge snowball fights, Jackson and Freya scale the Muir Wall on El Capitan, supported by Mum Jess and Dad Leo. Come and hang out with the family!
LITTLE WINGS
For 5'2” Tina Breslin, the tallest lines bring the greatest solace. Tina was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and highballs are her escape from an overactive mind. We follow Tina's climbing year as she tours stunning lines in North Yorkshire and the Lakes, supported by her partner Ian Henderson – a 6'4 giant who provides no useful beta! Tina's severe lack of reach and her neurological state provide ever-present challenges that Tina never shies from. This film is a sweet and charming exploration of the mental benefits of climbing, and of the focus that can be found in commitment. In the grand conclusion, the stakes are raised when Tina attempts 'Hang the Gallows High', a route where falling is not an option.
TRAD STARS
2025 proved to be one of the best trad climbing years in living memory, and filmmaker Al Lee has been on a mission to document its most incredible ascents. Trad Stars celebrates UK trad climbing in all its glory – the colourful characters, the rich history, the thrilling lines, the awesome climbing!
Highlights include:
- Jaw-dropping onsights from the likes of Siebe Vanhee, Robbie Phillips.
- First ascents from Ian Cooper.
- Super-impressive hard repeats from Billy Ridal (Rhapsody E11 7a) and Katie Keely (Always the Sun, E7 6b)
- Blind climber Jess Dufton making his most impressive ‘non-sight’ to date with an ascent of the Pembroke route ‘Howling Gale’, E3 6a.
This epic documentary celebrates the brilliance of British trad climbing with action from today's heroes, but also with an eye on the history and ethics that make UK trad unique. Cameos from Zoe Wood, John Dunne and Tanya Meridith all help paint an entertaining and vibrant picture of today's trad climbing scene.
The film unfolds across some of the UK's most amazing locations, from the Cuillins to Pembroke, from Sca Fell to Torridon via Yorkshire limestone.
Strap in for another classic to rival anything in the BritRock canon.
