Raveningham and Bayfield Hall Sculpture Trails announce the launch of the Sculpture Trail Film Festival (STFF), a new programme of short experimental and animated films presented across the two major sculpture trails in Norfolk during summer and autumn 2026.
Building on the success of film screenings in the MicroKino at the Raveningham Sculpture Trail since 2020 and Bayfield Sculpture Trail in 2025, STFF 2026 expands the initiative into a dedicated festival format. The programme will feature independent short films exploring the theme RITUAL, inviting audiences to experience innovative moving-image work alongside contemporary sculpture in unique rural settings.
The festival will run at the Raveningham Sculpture Trail from 16 July to 6 September 2026 at the Raveningham Centre, followed by the Bayfield Hall Sculpture Trail from 17 September to 19 October 2026.
