Down the Ladybower plughole!
What lies beneath the plugholes?
Nothing says adventure like heading into the Peak with pals, camping out, and then abseiling down a massive, iconic plughole (if plugholes can be iconic).
That's exactly what Stan Hammond and friends did in The Plughole Project, a film which represents the sheer joy of adventure that ShAFF is all about. It's part of our Made in Sheffield screenings – films made in, shot in, or featuring Sheffield and the Peak District.
As for what's down those holes? Well, you'll have to come along and find out.

Awesome ShAFF posters by Hallam students
Illustration students at Hallam Uni are currently making beautiful, unique posters for each Made in Sheffield film. During the festival we'll display the posters at The Outpost in Showroom Workstation, and in the cinema cafe.
Spot one you like? You'll be able to buy prints and cards from the students themselves. I'm personally hoping for a gothic horror plughole poster.
