Nell Teasdale, the tour director, said: "Get ready for an inspirational night of adventure from the wildest corners of the planet.

"With intrepid athletes, spectacular cinematography and a big dose of adrenaline, the Banff Mountain Film Festival stars the best new films from the world’s top adventure filmmakers.

"Plus, we guarantee you’ll be inspired to have an adventure of your own as well."

In addition to the films, each event features a free prize draw for outdoor goodies.

The films are handpicked from numerous entries submitted to the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival, an event held annually in November in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

In its 15th year, the UK and Ireland tour is slated to visit over 50 venues in spring and autumn.

Film enthusiasts in Malvern can look forward to film highlights such as 'Chronoception', an expedition along the ancient Silk Road into one of Asia's least explored regions, the Tien Shan mountains along the Kyrgyzstan-China border, 'Cross Countries', featuring French mountain biking legend Kilian Bron's thrilling ride across North America, and 'Going Greenland', an inspiring voyage of athletes Rachael Burks and Jessica Baker, who attempt to follow their dreams while living in harmony with the environment, combining a renewable energy sailboat with an arctic ski expedition in Greenland.
