Documentaries are for everyone.
Through flexible ticketing, tailored support, and inclusive events, we work to reduce barriers to participation, creating spaces where film and art can be shared, experienced, and brought to life for all.
Our initiatives will reopen in 2027. Please check back and keep an eye on our social media/newsletter for updates.

We’re committed to making our screenings and events accessible to everyone in our community. To support this, we offer a range of free tickets and discounted options for local community groups and charities.

From Door to Doc fundraising programme
Our From Door to Doc fundraising programme creates accessible pathways to Sheffield DocFest for people who might otherwise be unable to attend. We remove barriers like travel expenses, ticket costs, and the feeling that cultural events aren't 'for them'.
Following our 2026 festival, donations are currently paused. Please check back for updates.
Accessibility
Sheffield DocFest is committed to providing a positive and inclusive experience for all, including those with disabilities and other access requirements.
