Bay Short Film Festival
Award-winning short films return to the Roxy as Bay Short Film Festival comes to Ulverston
The Bay Short Film Festival returns this summer for its third consecutive year, bringing a curated programme of award-winning international and Northern short films to the Roxy Cinema, Ulverston.
The Ulverston screening is part of a three-day tour running 3–5 July 2026, also visiting Carnforth and Barrow-in-Furness. It’s the summer touring edition of The Bay International Film Festival, an established independent cinema event held in Morecambe each January — but this summer programme is dedicated purely to short films, bringing fresh international and homegrown Northern content to local audiences, much of it unseen in the area before.
Each stop on the tour combines a short film screening with a live filmmaker Q&A, audience voting for Best Film, and community discussion.
All screenings operate on a pay-what-you-can basis, with the festival committed to making independent cinema accessible regardless of financial circumstance.
Additionally, there will be an evening networking event at 6pm on 4th July at The Sun, Ulverston, for filmmakers. Please register for the evening via the tickets link below.
The calendar features community events in Ulverston and South Cumbria. Check the location details of each event, as you may need a car or other form of transport in order to get there.
