Sheffield DocFest, the UK’s leading documentary festival, will be taking over the city between 10 - 15 June 2026, 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.

 

Our full Industry Programme will be announced on 6 May. In the meantime, make sure you've secured your Festival Pass and have everything you need in preparation for another wonderful edition of Sheffield DocFest...
