The best of British and Irish cinema will be back on screens across the country this October and November!

Tickets for the Intrepid British and Irish Film Festival 2026 are on sale now. Now's the time to peruse this year's selection of cracking cinema and book your seats.

Celebrate the opening of the 2026 Festival with the hilarious, profound, and highly-anticipated WICKER which generated a massive amount of buzz upon its debut at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, earning a standing ovation and quickly becoming one of the most talked-about titles of the line-up.

Colman and Skarsgård have earned praise for their brilliant performances, and stunning craftsmanship from the wizards at Weta Workshop has put WICKER on the radar for awards season consideration. Do not miss it!
