SYKEHOUSE INTERNATIONAL FILMFEST 2025 will take place at The Owston Hall Hotel, Owston Lane, Bentley, Doncaster, DN5 0LP. (https://owstonhall.com/)
DATE: 28 June 2025
TIME: 10am to Midnight.
The nearest rail station is Adwick (on a branch line serving Leeds and Sheffield), or Doncaster (mainline from London) and taxis from Doncaster are frequent and easy. From Adwick, you’re best to have the number of a local taxi company handy! The Hall has plenty of parking space, and is close to the A1, A19, M62 and M18, so access by car is easy as well.
As with the 2024 Live Event, there will be whole day (10am-4.30pm) of screenings of selected films from the Festival, and there will hopefully also be some interviews with attending filmmakers and actors. This will take place in a smashing conference room at the hotel which seats up to 80 people.
There’s an on-site bar and restaurant so lunch, drinks and snacks are easily available, and the Owston also has bedrooms available if you wish to stay over. Please contact them direct for booking. They only have limited numbers of rooms though, so please book early if you want to stay!
The Saturday evening Gala Dinner will take place in the Hall’s Marlborough suite, with it’s own private bar area where there’ll be an arrival drinks reception and Red Carpet photos with the other attending celebrities.
The event is planning a three course sit-down, waiter-served dinner, and the evening event promises music, laughter, food, friendship, networking and, of course, the announcement of the Awards themselves!
